You could try using RDO (Remote Data Objects) for a start. I do not know if Oracle supports this sort of data connectivity, and I have never done it.

Another idea is to use some 'middleware' to pass the data over sockets in some sort of client/server situation. I have done this, and it works well (it may not be the most elegant solution, however).

Just some ideas.
