SQLNonTransientConnectionException: No current connection, in my application while interacting with Derby database

Question

I implemented derby data base in my application to save my data,and I am getting this exception in retrieval of result set form select query in Derby database. To establish the connection I use connection string as:

I establish connection using this method:

I declare this method in class Connection.java:

 public synchronized Connection createConnection() throws Exception {

        Connection rescon = null;

        try {
            if (this.dbuser == null) {
                rescon = DriverManager.getConnection(this.URI + ";create=true");
                } else {
                rescon = DriverManager.getConnection(this.URI + ";create=true",
                        this.dbuser, this.dbpass);
            }
            // new connection in connection pool created
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            final String stackNum = Utility.exceptionHandler(e);
            throw new Exception("Exception get during Connection - " + e.getMessage());
        }
        return rescon;
    }

I used this method as and create connection, create connection during intraction using string:

private Connection objConnection = null;
objConnectionpool = new Connection("jdbc:derby:" + Folder.getAbsolutePath() +        "/myapplication" + sFileName, null, null, "org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver");
objConnection =  objConnectionpool.createNewConnection();

I am getting exception in execution of query:

sQuery = "select value,reason from " + TableNm + " where fileName ='" + FileName + "' AND type='"+Type+"' AND status ='remaining'"; 

during processing and interaction with Derby database we might update as well get the data from the database:

I perform setAutoCommit as false before inserting in the database

objConnection.setAutoCommit(false);

after insertion:

ps = objConnection.prepareStatement(sQuery);
rs = ps.executeQuery();
objConnection.commit();
objConnection.setAutoCommit(true);

I am getting Exception as

Answer 1

Found this via Google.

I had the same problem and found my answer in this sample application: http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.4/devguide/rdevcsecure26537.html

// force garbage collection to unload the EmbeddedDriver
// so Derby can be restarted
System.gc();

Works perfectly now.

What is Connection.createNewConnection? I've never heard of such a method on java.sql.Connection, and I can't find it in any of the docs.

I always use DriverManager.getConnection to establish my Derby database connections.
