I certainly don't want to discourage you from cleaning up the jdbc ssl situation, but one workaround might be to use stunnel. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
[HACKERS] Java LISTEN/NOTIFY client library work-around
Hi, As you know, LISTEN/NOTIFY is broken in the Java client library. You have to do a SELECT 1 in a while-loop to receive the notifications. http://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/head/listennotify.html Is there some other library with a proper implementation where you don't have to spam the database with queries to get the notifications? If not, my company is willing to sponsor development of a patch fixing this problem. -- Best regards, Joel Jacobson
