Re: NullPointerException while closing connection with

Jani,
Can you put together a small test program that demonstrates the
problem? Like, configures a pool and then launches 20 threads that all
try to execute the code below, and if you run it for a little bit you get
the problem? It's hard to debug thread problems without a good example.

Thanks,
Aaron
