I would rather have a single page exposed, than opening an account that can walk through the directory tree...

It's just the output of a process, that needs to be seen by the client/user.

Do it all the time - use java/plsql/owa packages if it's not on an application server, or just a simple page and a logical link if it's on the application server.
Needless to say that the url is intranet only, and the page requires you're logged on.
