When I do a ps -ef, in the command column, I see:

I get all of this, except the "57413".  What does this mean, and more
importantly, how can I tie that number back to a connection that I've
acquired via JDBC?

At a guess, it's the ephemeral port number used by the client
connection.  It might be hard to track back in Java because I don't
think the JDBC driver gives you access to the underlying Socket object
(which you could query to find out its local port).

See the lsof unix tool for a good way to track which processes are communicating via that port number.
