Are you using a connection pooling implementation?
If so, are you using a recent (CVS is probably safest) driver? In older
drivers the proxy connection objects produced by the driver (and
commonly used by connection pools) failed to implement PGConnection.
Failing that, is it possible that your client code is loading the
postgresql classes (org.postgresql.PGConnection in this case) via a
different classloader to the classloader that loaded the JDBC driver itself?
