Re: Jdbc3PoolingDataSource default auto commit is false

You still could have set the autocommit flag on a per connection basis.
The default autocommit is the autocommit value a newly checked out
connection will have, but you can set it to on after checking out the
connection from the pool.
And yes, when autocommit is off, you need to commit/rollback after your
queries.
BTW, I find the autocommit being off by default as rather useless and
confusing, as people will know how to explicitly open a transaction when
they want to have one wrapping more queries, and queries not explicitly
wrapped in transactions are usually to be committed immediately. It is
confusing, as your case clearly demonstrates.

HTH,
