只读事务中的序列 nextval - postgresql 9

Question

i recently upgraded to postgresql9 from postgresql8. i have a method marked as @Transactional(readonly=true) and call nextval on the sequence. it worked fine in Postgres8 but it fails in Postgres9. I looked around but nothing concrete. did anyone encounter this problem. i could write a interceptor to change the transaction to write, but was wondering whether this is now a new restriction and can it be changed through some configuration setting on postgresq9

Please help me.

nextval() modifies a sequence, so you shouldn't be doing it in a read-only transaction. Pg 9.0.4 enforces this, but it was still a bug in whatever was trying to use nextval() in a read-only transaction before 9.0, Pg just didn't notice and warn you.
