Yeah, it seems Oracle keeps on changing the relevant API,
which makes it difficult to actually work against it.
I would go for reflection as well, as far as I know that's
what DeeGree is doing as well,
see:
https://svn.wald.intevation.org/svn/deegree/base/trunk/src/org/deegree/io/oraclegeoraster/

It seems they haven't updated to the Oracle 11G api either,
where the getRenderedImage methods have been moved to this
class:
http://database.in2p3.fr/doc/oracle/Oracle_Database_11_Release_1_%2811.2%29_Documentation/appdev.112/e11829/oracle/spatial/georaster/image/GeoRasterImage.html

With enough reflection all needs can be accomodated, but it sure
makes for a hard to test code.
On the vector side what has been done is to avoid using the Oracle
API completely, someone sponsored the creation of the GeoTools
native readers that do actually require just the JDBC driver.
But I don't think it's practical in this case.

Licensing wise, for development purposes I think you can just
download and install Oracle Enterprise.
However I've found it very hard to install, all attempts at
making it work on Ubuntu have failed for me so far.
I've been told it can be installed relatively easily on
CentOS though.

Cheers
Andrea
