Password_grace_time and JDBC

Hi friends,  

We're having a spot of bother with our product and Oracle's password management.
We have a java front end which is installed on a client site. The client site
uses Oracle profiles to handle their password security. In the profile they have
set up a Password_life_time of 30 days and a Password_grace_time of 5 days.  

The problem is that our front end is not able to handle the Oracle message
(I think it's ORA-28002),

which states that the password will expire in x days. As no connection has been established through
JDBC we have no way of allowing the user to change their password.  

Unfortunately, the client DBAs are adamant that the profiles cannot be changed (which is fair enough),
but does anyone have any idea how we could handle this situation on the Program/JDBC side?  

Thanks a lot,
