If this is true there should be a) a null-check in PooledConnection#connectUsingDriver b) if null, then there should be a fallback-Classloader (the system class laoder?) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
