Connection closed when saving blob - spring

Question

I'm having a problem when uploading files on a weblogic application.
Once the fileuploader has finished saving the file, the following exception appears:
java.sql.SQLException: Conexión cerrada

At other environments this problem doesn't appear, so I think it must be some configuration on the JDBC driver but I'm not sure wich one I have to modify.
The invoking struts
private void adjuntarFichero()throws Exception {
logger.debug("uploadFileName = "+uploadFileName);
if (uploadFileName!=null && !uploadFileName.equals("")) {
HttpSession session = request.getSession();
HashMap<Long,String> ficheros = (HashMap<Long,String>)session.getAttribute("ficheros");
if (ficheros == null) ficheros = new HashMap<Long,String>();
Fichero file = new FicheroImpl();
file.setNombre(uploadFileName);
file.setFichero(getBytesFromFile(upload));
file = gestorFichero.guardarFichero(file);
ficheros.put(file.getId(), uploadFileName);
session.setAttribute("ficheros", ficheros);
}
}
the error is produced inside the "guardarFichero" method, who invokes a DAO class that takes care of the saving
public abstract class gestorFichero
extends org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.HibernateDaoSupport{
public Fichero guardarFichero (Fichero fichero){
Debug.prec(fichero, "El fichero no puede ser nulo");
return (Fichero)create(TRANSFORM_NONE, fichero);
}
public java.lang.Object create(final int transform, final com.aena.sgc.Fichero fichero)
{
if (fichero == null){
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Fichero.create - 'fichero' can not be null");
}
this.getHibernateTemplate().save(fichero);
return this.transformEntity(transform, fichero);
}

Finally I discovered wich was the problem.
It was related to the driver class. Originally we had the datasource configured to use the XA driver oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource and whenever we finished uploading a file, the exception was thrown.
Once I changed the driver to oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver these errors dissapeared.
