Answer 1

Well It appears I will answer myself this time.

You have to add it as a service using the event tag.

app/config/config.yml 

services:
    my.listener:
        class: Doctrine\DBAL\Event\Listeners\OracleSessionInit 
        tags:
            - { name: doctrine.event_listener, event: postConnect }

my.listener is an arbitrary name for the listener.
