I use only the postgres 8.1.404 driver(checked that no other drivers
were in the classpath)
I also set autocommit to true before I close the connection. I use jboss
to get the datasource
The autocommit change does not change the behaviour. I still see idle in
transaction.

Current driver versions (and 8.1.404 is current enough) should not show
this behaviour any more, which was annoying in older drivers.
Are you shure that you have the correct driver version? We occasionally
get reports from users thinking they run a certain driver version, but
they accidentally have another driver earlier in the class search path.
Especially the $JRE/lib/ext directory is dangerous, people tend to drop
.jars there and then forget them.
Another possibility is that you use a broken connection pooling that
fails to reset the connections properly. Could you modify your
application logic to set all connections to autocommit mode before
closing / returning them to the pool?
HTH,
Markus
