Description Tolga Dalman 2011-09-28 08:28:45 UTC 
Using the current jdbc-postgresql (jdbc4 version) with JBoss doesn't work, since contextual LOB support is not yet supported by jdbc-postgresql.

I think it would be possible to install both driver versions. Alternatively, a USE flag could be installed as well.

Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

could you please be more specific about the solution? i have no idea what you mean :-) also please note that driver 9.1_p901 is now available in the main tree.

Three possibilities here I think:
1. Add a USE flag to select between jdbc3 and jdbc4
2. Just install jdbc3 version
3. Install both JAR files (jdbc3 and jdbc4) into /usr/share/jdbc-postgresql/lib

Thanks a lot for that!

i'm sorry, but i can't help you with that. afaik, to build jdbc3 driver, you have to use java 1.5 which is eol'd since Oct 2009 so java 1.5 is not officially supported anymore. anyway, you can download jdbc3 driver and use that one instead of the gentoo one to solve your issue.
