I thought you saw the passwords in the log file which would seem to indicate NOT
NULL or not empty string.

Are you sure your JEE app and pgAdmin are both pointing at the same database?

WHAT THE HELL!?!

Just came home from work
and did another testing:

I access my JEE App via EJBs and this is what i'm doing to create my users at startup: i call the LOCAL BeanInterface
and the result is that my passwords get lost.
By the way this is the same behavior when i rename password to city and put it e.g. from column 5 to 3 -> city is not stored.


But now the hammer:
I can also call the REMOTE Interface of my bean from another program when my server has started,
and BAM! password, city or whatever is stored properly!

For the ones who do not now EJB: the Implementation is exactly the same for my remote and local interface,
i debuged and saw that the passwords are there, i looked into the postgre logfile and saw the insert statement with pw value is ok, ...


This is really ill sh... but i can live with that, as far as i know and it works when i call the createPlayer() method properly from remote interface when server has started.


Next thing i will try is to use EJB remote interface internally which also works, but is slower


Thanks for everybodies help

Hmm... Please attach your log with parameters passed to server, you said only
about statement not about passwords. As well You provieded small number of
information about your EE app (but it's starnge it works on Oracle). Is it EJB
3 or 2 app, and do you use EJB Entities or JPA ones?

My suggestion is you should look carefully at logs, and statuses of
transactions, check if password is passed, look for any error about one
statements, check if in some way the passwords aren't updated once again. Do
you see COMMIT/ROLLBACK in log?

Regards,
Radek.
