Guillaume,
No it can't be wrong from the database's point of view, now what happens
in java is another problem
Here's how it works, in principle anyway.
The last value of each sequence which has been generated using nextval
is stored in the connections session memory.
so when you use the SAME connection to retrieve currval it will retrieve
that value.
If you get a different connection, or store it in a shared value in your
java then it doesn't work.
