postgresql: Large Objects may not be used in auto-commit mode [CLOSED]

Question

Hi,

I'm working on a application which uses spring and hibernate. We are using postgresql as the database.

When I try to insert a record into a table which has a OID column it is throwing the following error.

org.hibernate.exception.GenericJDBCException: could not insert: [com.greytip.cougar.model.misc.MailAttachment]

The exception says that a Large Objects may not be used in auto-commit mode, but when i saw the following log from spring and hibernate it says that the auto-commit mode is disabled.

Here is the log from spring transaction and hibernate jdbc connection manager

In this log the first few lines says that the method MailManager.sendMail() is running with a transaction block and the default auto-commit status is true, but the next line says that the auto-commit is disabled.

Can anybody tell me why postgresql is throwing "Large Objects may not be used in auto-commit mode" exception when actually the auto-commit mode is diabled.

Thank you.

See the last post here: http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?t=15988

Answer 2

The issue was there was two different SessionFactories in my application. Only 1 of them had an associated transaction. I was saving the object with the large object using a sessionFactory that didn't had the transaction.

Since the I was using dbcp pooling the connection had the autoCommit property set to true.

I fixed it by changing the use of two different sessionFactories, now I'm using only one sessionFactory which work in a HibernateTransaction. This solves the problem since the transaction manager sets the autoCommit property to false.
