Andrey,

   I have recently written a paper with Robert Goral showing how to map a view on any PL/SQL table. It should work with 8.0.5, provided that you have the object option installed. You may find it at http://www.oramag.com, and it's complete with a small example. It may not be exactly what you are looking for but might be an interesting alternative.
