Re: FW: LISTEN/NOTIFY support in JDBC driver?

Ben,

I was looking into this a bit more tonight.  I have gotten some
notifications to come through.  But not all.

If you apply the following two line patch to current sources you will
get notifications if (and only if) you run with autoCommit = true.  If
you set autoCommit to false the backend never sends the notifications to
the client, and I have no idea why.  I plan to follow up on that.  Given
that this only partly works, I don't want to commit this change into 7.2
as it isn't complete and 7.2 is too close to release.

thanks,
--Barry
