Narrative:

During climbout; 'engine' ECAM page appeared with engine 2 oil temperature indication flashing at 140 degrees. After consulting QRH and ECAM supplemental manual prepared to shut down number 2 engine after 15 minutes. ECAM 'elect' page appeared with number 2 idg oil temperature indication flashing at 148 degrees. Declared emergency and began diversion. Both oil temperatures returned to normal parameters so changed diversion airport. Performed QRH procedures for 'high oil temperature' and 'overweight landing.' landed at approximately 184;000 pounds. Engine 2 was on oil watch. Even the maintenance personnel that met the aircraft believed that it was not prudent to send an aircraft on oil watch on a cross country flight.

Title: An A321's #2 engine was on an oil watch because of previous problems. On this flight both the engine oil and IDG temperatures rose high enough to cause ECAM alerts. An emergency was declared and the aircraft returned to the departure airport.
