Oracle Spatial reproject geometries

Hi all,
I'm using an Oracle Spatial layer (polygon geometry) that is in decimal degrees 
(epsg: 4326), in a map that is in another projection.
The layer geometries usually are rectangles with 4-5 vertices, when the map is 
draw the geometry is re-projected but the lines are straight lines with no 
curvature and the image is really ugly (some big trapezoids – is the same 
image as the one generated by Spatial Advisor in Oracle if I would transform 
the geometry using the epsg of map). 

On the other hand if I get the same layer and converted in a shape file, than 
loaded into my map file, the image is re-projected nicely with curved lines.

I cannot use shape files in my map, I’m stuck with oracle spatial and I was 
wandering if there is any way to get the same image for oracle spatial as I get 
for shape file.

Thank you in advance.
