Storing User ID's and Passwords

For application users that don't have an Oracle account, what's the best way
to store passwords in the database? Encryption of the passwords will be
handled by the application code (Java?) but the user name and passwords are
to be stored in the database. I'm thinking it would be better to use a
datatype of raw rather than varchar2. Any suggestions?



TIA,
