Re: problem in handling transactions + jdbc

Don't forget to actually commit the transaction (connection.commit()).
Also you probably need
to handle either a commit() or a rollback() in the finally block,
depending on how your application
works. Setting autocommit to true doesn't actually issue a commit, I'm
pretty sure.
