Lance, It would appear that the setAutoCommit javadoc for JDBC 4.0 and
the javadoc used for J2SE 1.4.2 (I assume JDBC 3.0) are identical so I'm
afraid they can shed no light on the subject.
Dan, the footnotes were removed as they do not translate particularly
well to a plain text format. I do apologize for zapping the footnote
regarding your the difference between the JDBC spec and the javadocs.
That should have stayed.
For anyone just tuning into this email thread the comment went something
like this:
"[The advanced case] definition complies with the JDK 1.4.1
interpretation of the JDBC implementation which differs from the JDBC
3.0 specifications. Thanks to Daniel Debrunner for pointing this out."

I think you dropped the footnotes that you had in the pdf document.
The note that talked about JDBC 3.0 spec did not mention output
parameters for auto commit on callable statements.
I would challenge that the text from JDBC 3.0 spec, section 10.1 is the
definitive behaviour, not the javadoc of setAutoCommit.
So does that make that a bug in the setAutoCommit javadoc? Lance do
you have an opinon here?
