Is there a way to set the ORACLE_SID inside java for making a Bequeath Connection? If  ORACLE_SID environment variable is not set, the Bequeath Connection does not work, and the following exception is thrown:

java.sql.SQLException: ORA-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified

at oracle.jdbc.driver.T2CConnection.checkError(T2CConnection.java:1157)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.T2CConnection.checkError(T2CConnection.java:1060)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.T2CConnection.logon(T2CConnection.java:727)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.PhysicalConnection.connect(PhysicalConnection.java:793)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.T2CDriverExtension.getConnection(T2CDriverExtension.java:62)

Various connection properties are tried via setConnectionProperties and some setters on the OracleDataSource, but the issue persists.
