problem: query result in jdbc is <> result in psql

I'm working on some code that reads info from the pg lock table.


jks=# SELECT (select relname from pg_catalog.pg_class where
pg_catalog.pg_class.oid = relation) as relname, * FROM pg_locks ORDER BY
pid, relation;
           relname           |  locktype  | database | relation | page |
tuple | virtualxid | transactionid | classid | objid | objsubid |
virtualtransaction |  pid  |        mode         | granted

In this example I tried to lock the 'a' table in two different psql windows.
The works fine in psql. However when I run the query in jdbc I don't see
the 'a's.

I ran this script with

  scala -cp
~/.ivy2/cache/postgresql/postgresql/jars/postgresql-9.1-901.jdbc4.jar <
/tmp/pgjdbc.scala


import java.sql._
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver")
val url="jdbc:postgresql://localhost/template1"
val usr = "jks"
val conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, usr,"")
val st = conn.createStatement
val sql = "SELECT (select relname from pg_catalog.pg_class where
pg_catalog.pg_class.oid = relation) as relname, * FROM pg_locks ORDER BY
pid, relation;"
val rs = st.executeQuery(sql)
val cols = rs.getMetaData().getColumnCount();

  for(colnum <- 1 to cols)
      print(rs.getMetaData().getColumnLabel(colnum) + "\t")
println("-------------------------")

while(rs.next){
    for(colnum <- 1 to cols)
       print( rs.getObject(colnum) + "\t")
    println
}

The output is:

null    null    null    2/19    7613    AccessExclusiveLock     true

null    null    null    null    null    null    17/462  21265
AccessShareLock true
pg_locks        relation        1       11000   null    null    null

null    null    null    17/462  21265   ExclusiveLock   true

notice that there is only 'null' in the left column where 'a's should be.

Both psql and jdbc were connecting using the same user, 'jks'.  The pg
