Re: NullPointerException while closing connection with

Well, In general I would recommend the following, which may or may not
solve your problem.

try
{
do sql stuff
}catch ( SQLException )
{
}
finally
{
close connection
}

Because if you throw an exception in your create, or execute the
connection will not be returned to the pool. BTW this applies to
non-pooled connections too!
