Hello,It seems that the fix for bug OPENJPA-1294 causes a NullPointerException during the commit phase when openJPA property "openjpa.ConnectionRetainMode" is set to "always".
Call to close method on connection returned by getNewConnection also sets the underlying _conn of JDBCStoreManager to null.
