Idle in TX / Java process hang's in the vicinity of JDBC - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

We've got an issue where an ETL process just sort of stalled on us last night.

It left a dreaded "Idle in Transaction" in the database. Although fortunatly
it didn't appear to have any tables locked.

No errors logged in the postgresql logfile.

(we're on JDBC driver v8.3-603)

We got a stack trace of the ETL process:
Name: Thread-957
State: RUNNABLE
Total blocked: 0  Total waited: 0

We were wondering what the:
org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl.execute(QueryExecutorImpl.java:192)
   - locked org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl@18493c9

was refering to.

Any direction for debugging would be useful. I'm not really that knowledgeable in the Java area
and my developers are a bit stumped.

Thanks
