Hello Cameron, late answer, but here it is ...

Have you tried swapping out one of the components, such as the database connection pool you are using?
I don't see how it can help except for completely replacing a component. I exactly know where the NPE occurs, I can probably fix it. The question was only where to fix it, meaning in which component. Anything else might only be a workaround. That was why I asked if anybody on this list (which should include at least few people knowing the spec very well) knows how the components should behave correctly in case of a connection error, i.e. a problem with the physical connection.
I moved away from XAPool to c3p0 several months ago due to NPE's in load tests in XAPool.
Thanks for the hint, but unfortunately c3p0 seems not to provide implementations for the XA interfaces. So I would have to write a wrapper myself - which is probably even more effort than fixing XAPool.
