You’ve set autocommit to false and haven’t committed. What did you think would happen? From Oracle’s own docs on the subject:

After the auto-commit mode is disabled, no SQL statements are committed until you call the method commit explicitly.

Either:

connection.setAutoCommit (true);

when you create the connection (although we can probably discount that as an option since you explicitly set it to false, meaning you wanted to batch up your changes in a transaction), or:

connection.commit();

before returning from insertValues().

You may also want to check the return value from executeUpdate even if only for debugging purposes. For an insert, it gives you the number of rows inserted (should be one, in this case).
