errors while getting large objects... - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

hello.

my application uses large objects frequently...to render the main page, it
might load anywhere from zero to 10 large objects - mostly images or
documents.  recently i started stress testing this page (making it always
load many LOs) and i frequently encounter two different problems.

1. fastpath - autocommit is always false...i've verified this several times.
my current workaround is to catch the fastpath error and resubmit the
query...usually works on the second pass and rarely makes it to 4 passes
(the current limit i have set).  i have included a stack trace at the bottom
of this message.  does anyone have any ideas on this?  i'm using 7.0.2 with
the 7.0-1.2 jdbc driver.  the occurences seem totally random...sometimes a
page loads perfectly, sometimes i get three fastpath errors...sometimes the
first load gets FP erros, sometimes the fifth page does.

2. hanging - i recently noticed that the processing sometimes (pretty
frequently) hangs on the line of code that grabs the LO from the db...i've
tried both:

byte[] bytes = rs.getBytes(columnName);
 and
InputStream is = rs.getBinaryStream(columnName);

Same result for both.  It hangs indefinitely.  Similar to the fastpath -
sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't...but it always happens within 5
screen loads of my stress test page.

does anyone know if these problems were fixed in recent versions of
postgresql?  is anyone having similar problems?  i greatly appreciate any
help!

thanks
chris
