Can you give a try on a more recent tomcat version? Seems it works with master 
version since the tomcat-jdbc module classloader is tried first before the tccl?
Tested with:


public class PooledConnectionTest {
    @Test
    public void avoidNPEWhenTcclIsNull() throws SQLException {
        final PoolProperties poolProperties = new PoolProperties();
        poolProperties.setDriverClassName("org.h2.Driver");
        poolProperties.setUsername("sa");
        poolProperties.setPassword("");
        
poolProperties.setUrl("jdbc:h2:mem:PooledConnectionTest_avoidNPEWhenTcclIsNull");
        poolProperties.setMaxIdle(1);
        poolProperties.setMinIdle(1);
        poolProperties.setInitialSize(1);
        poolProperties.setMaxActive(1);

        ensureDataSourceIsValid(poolProperties);

        final Thread thread = Thread.currentThread();
        final ClassLoader testLoader = thread.getContextClassLoader();
        thread.setContextClassLoader(null);
        try {
            ensureDataSourceIsValid(poolProperties);
        } finally {
            thread.setContextClassLoader(testLoader);
        }
    }

    private void ensureDataSourceIsValid(final PoolProperties poolProperties) 
throws SQLException {
        final DataSource dataSource = new DataSource(poolProperties);
        try (final Connection connection = dataSource.getConnection()) {
            assertTrue(connection.isValid(5));
        } finally {
            dataSource.close();
        }
    }
}

Unfortunately not easily extractable/reproducible

Maybe :

th = new Thread() {
@Override
public void run() {
« do something that requires a connection from the pool »
}
} ;
th.set getContextClassLoader( null ) ;
th.run() ;

should/can I file a bug?

Guess so, with a small project reproducing it?

how would you achieve this? By setting «initialSize» to «maxSize» in 
PoolProperties?

1 should be sufficient, however tomcat-jdbc (vs dbcp2 for instance) loads it 
per connection and not once for all the pool 
(https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/master/modules/jdbc-pool/src/main/java/org/apache/tomcat/jdbc/pool/PooledConnection.java#L196)
 which is likely 1. Bad for perf but moreover 2. Buggy if the classloader 
changes between usages of a connection in apps. Loader, driver should be loaded 
once and potentially the datasource be duplicated per app if needed (driver in 
the app) IMHO. This would also fix your NPE transitively ;).

+1, there is no real other option AFAIK until you init at bootstrap the pool 
(initial size) to ensure it is in one tomcat classloader.

Context:
Debian GNU/Linux 9 \n \l
java version 1.8.0_162

From time to time we are facing the follwing exception (call stack):

According to the code (in PooledConnection# connectUsingDriver) 
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() returns null

Googling for " Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() is null" the 
common demoniator seems to be `getContextClassLoader can be null`. 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?)

WDYT ?

Or any ideas why the given exception pops up from time to time

Thx
Clemens
