Hi everyone,

I've been altering some integration code and now I get the dreaded "You have uncommitted work pending. Please commit or rollback before calling out" message.  This is supposed to indicate I have begun an update or insert and subsequently made a callout.

The code I started with is very OO and it's hard to figure out exactly what is getting run when.  So after a while I started copying the code into a refactored base so I can tell exactly what is going on.  I am now at the point where my code has no DML at all, I'm not even doing a select and I still get the error.  Code is below.

I have to think one of two things is happening. Either the error message is incorrect or something is "stuck."  I don't have solid evidence for the latter idea but this error message has come and gone a couple of times without any obvious action on my part.

As I search this error message I only find people who actually were doing DML before the callout.  Clearly I am not.  Am I special?  I hope someone else has faced this.
