Permission to entire directory

HOW do I give sudo privaledge for a particular user to an entire
directory?

My circumstance is, I have a user named 'oracle'.
We have an application written for websphere and must be in a directory
with root permission.
I have restricted root commands to just a few important ones for the
user oracle.
However, the user now needs to:
rm
cp
mv

and generally manipulate the entire directory, and I cannot change file
permissions due to the application (yet).

So I need for oracle user to be able to do anything to that directory
using sudo.

Any suggestions?
