On a related note, the ensureDriversInitialized method right now gets run once per JVM. However, given that the rest of the DriverManager deals with per classloader Driver(s), would it be right to somehow make ensureDriversInitialized run once per classloader instance? That way, this issue won't show up in first place, given that ensureDriversInitialized would have ensured that any drivers available in that classloader would have been loaded during the first call from class A (in that example). -Jaikiran
