Interestingly enough... he doesn't have an INSERT rule...

You didn't post the INSERT rule. However, what's truly interesting is that you do have a delete rule, yet you're getting an exception. Which indicates the exception is being generated from within java, and not by postgresql at all. Obviously, whatever trick that was applied to convince java to insert into a view needs to be used to make the delete work. Wouldn't fixing the insert rule be better?
