JDBC 2.0 - CONCUR_UPDATABLE

I need to have a CONCUR_UPDATABLE result set (preferably TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE). I'm finding conflicting information about whether or not this type of dynamic result set is even supported by the ORACLE server let alone implemented by a JDBC driver, and that if I can do it I can only reference a single table in my statement...

SAMPLE PROBLEM:
We need to select multiple rows at a time, but don't want to lock the entire set of rows in the result set, yet need to ensure data integrity with multiple users concurrently accessing the database:

Ex: User 1 executes a query that returns 30 rows. I do NOT want all of these rows locked, I simply want to lock the single active record that user 1 is viewing. User 2 should be able to execute a query that returns the same results and be able to scroll through her result set unhindered (until she tries to activate the same row that User 1 has active).

-Is this type of operation even supported by ORACLE?
-Can I do this via JDBC and if so can someone recommend a driver?

Any answers on these issues would be appreciated. Any reference materials or sites containing an in depth discussion of these issues would be welcome as well.
