I'm new to the Oracle world, so maybe I'm reading your question wrong.
But I'm using the Oracle OCI drivers, and to specify the local machine, I
put this in the URL of the call to DriverManager.getConnection
"jdbc:oracle:oci8:@" (usually you put the database alias after the @ if
you're going to a remote machine).
