Re: Does jdbc commit() return before the transaction is complete?

There are some background threads, like the postCommit thread, but these should be transparent to users. If you can monitor which thread is actually running during the lockup period, that might help .. Thanks, that helped.  The problem was not related to Derby (it actually had to do with Java garbage collection).
