Hibernate Isolation level -- won't let me do read uncommitted?

[Aaron Wilt]

Hi all,

I'm not a db expert, but my dba told me that for our app we need to set the isolation level to read uncommitted. We're currently using Oracle 10g Express Edition (XE)

So in my persistence.xml I added this:

<property name="hibernate.connection.isolation" value="1" />

the #1 corresponds to read uncommitted of java.sql.Connection.

When I tried to run the app, I got this exception:

java.sql.SQLException: READ_COMMITTED and SERIALIZABLE are the only valid transaction levels

Is this a limitation of Oracle XE ? What would cause this and how can I fix it?

Thanks,
Aaron
