I'm told yes, haven't seen it yet.

That is possible now with 8i, but again more flexible in 9i. You can move objects directly as parameters between Java and ORACLE using JDBC. Careful, currently only the data goes across. Methods are not stored as well! Although you can associate your own methods with the object type inside the database.
