Hi, folks. I'm getting this exception somewhat inconsistently when I try to commit a stateful session bean. Nested exception is: javax.transaction.xa.XAException: The connection was closed at com.evermind.sql.al.prepare(JAX) at com.evermind.server.f8.g1(JAX) at com.evermind.server.ApplicationServerTransaction.commit(JAX) at com.evermind.server.ApplicationServerTransaction.end(JAX) at AuctionWizard_StatefulSessionBeanWrapper15.commit(AuctionWizard_ StatefulSessionBeanWrapper15.java:216) at com.lb.pres.po.auction.wizard.Form5.auctionWizard5(Form5.java:155) ..... Does anyone have any ideas what "The connection was closed" means? What does it refer to? And why is it making my transactions roll back? We've had no problems talking to the Oracle database in other parts of the application. Thanks in advance, David
