RE: connect to the databases without using tnsnames.ora?

JDBC Oracle thin driver DOES NOT require any config file.

The connection url needs to be of the form jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:port:SID

Are you talking about the JDBC Oracle Thin Driver?

This is because you configure it separately. It still has a tnsnames.ora  type config somewhere hidden in it's own config file. Just that it does not use the regular tnsnames.ora.
