Can you give a try on a more recent tomcat version? Seems it works with master version since the tomcat-jdbc module classloader is tried first before the tccl? Tested with:
public class PooledConnectionTest { @Test public void avoidNPEWhenTcclIsNull() throws SQLException { final PoolProperties poolProperties = new PoolProperties(); poolProperties.setDriverClassName("org.h2.Driver"); poolProperties.setUsername("sa"); poolProperties.setPassword(""); poolProperties.setUrl("jdbc:h2:mem:PooledConnectionTest_avoidNPEWhenTcclIsNull"); poolProperties.setMaxIdle(1); poolProperties.setMinIdle(1); poolProperties.setInitialSize(1); poolProperties.setMaxActive(1); ensureDataSourceIsValid(poolProperties); final Thread thread = Thread.currentThread(); final ClassLoader testLoader = thread.getContextClassLoader(); thread.setContextClassLoader(null); try { ensureDataSourceIsValid(poolProperties); } finally { thread.setContextClassLoader(testLoader); } } private void ensureDataSourceIsValid(final PoolProperties poolProperties) throws SQLException { final DataSource dataSource = new DataSource(poolProperties); try (final Connection connection = dataSource.getConnection()) { assertTrue(connection.isValid(5)); } finally { dataSource.close(); } } } Romain Manni-Bucau @rmannibucau <https://twitter.com/rmannibucau> | Blog <https://rmannibucau.metawerx.net/> | Old Blog <http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com> | Github <https://github.com/rmannibucau> | LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/rmannibucau> | Book <https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/java-ee-8-high-performance> Le lun. 29 juil. 2019 à 07:36, Clemens Wyss DEV <clemens...@mysign.ch> a écrit : > https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63612 > > > > with a small project reproducing it? > > Unfortunately not easily extractable/reproducible > > Maybe : > > th = new Thread() { > @Override > > public void run() { > « do something that requires a connection from the pool » > > } > } ; > th.set getContextClassLoader( null ) ; > th.run() ; > > > > *Von:* Romain Manni-Bucau <rmannibu...@gmail.com> > *Gesendet:* Donnerstag, 25.
