This looks like it could be a server crash. Does the server's log show
anything informative? Also you don't mention what server and JDBC driver
version you are using, but the stacktrace tells me the driver must be from
the 7.2 or earlier release. If the server log doesn't reveal anything you
might try upgrading the JDBC driver to a later version.
