Thread: 7.4 LOG: invalid message length

Using  Mac OS X 10.2.6  Pgsql 7.4 (postgresql-7.4beta1) from postgresql.org  devpgjdbc2.jar
and WebObjects 5.2

I get   LOG:  invalid message length
when EOModeler creates my database.

When I built PostgreSQL I specified    --with-pam --without-readline

Since I don't have ant the "--with-java" failed so I left it off.

Should I go back to a more stable JDBC driver?  Or should I press on?
Thanks.

You should probably report this to pgsql-jdbc; it sounds like a flaw in
their implementation of the new FE/BE protocol.  They'll want a clearer
description of how to reproduce it, though ...

Gmane,

I just checked in a fix to the jdbc driver for this.  The problem was 
that the connection termination message was being passed the wrong 
length, which really didn't have any other adverse side effect than this 
message in the log, since the connection was no longer being used.

thanks,
