Controlling transactions when JDBC connection closed?

We're reusing a set of Java classes from an "old" application in a new application. The old application used a PC database; the new one is using Oracle. It appears that the PC database implicitly rolled back transactions if a connection to the database was closed. However, with Oracle, is appears that when we close a JDBC connection, the current transaction is implicitly committed.

I understand that these classes *should* be explicitly controlling their transactions, and committing or rolling back before closing the connection to the database, and we will have to fix these classes to do so. However, I would also like to know if it's possible to change this behaviour of Oracle of implicitly committing upon close. Is there a JDBC configuration file or something like that? This is Oracle 8.1.7, in a JRUN environment, if that's any help. (As you can tell, this Java stuff is not my forte...)

Thanx for any advice.
