You shouldn't have to do this.

If you are using a <Resource> element in your context.xml file, then you
are already using a DBCP. Just add the "validationQuery" attribute to
your <Resource> element:

<Resource ...
  validationQuery="SELECT 1"
 />

You can use validationQuery="/* ping */SELECT 1" if you want, and
Connector/J will ping the server instead(?) of issuing the SELECT query.
