You can run a verification SQL instead. So I guess doing nothing would be fine as well, as the verification SQL (on borrow) could be configured instead.
Other methods which do a round trip to the database can be used as well (for example setAutocommit() on some drivers).

I am dealing with an old JDBC driver that throws an AbstractMethodError when this method is called. How can I workaround this? Should we add some mode to DBCP2 to deal with pre-1.6 JDBC drivers? If so how? Catch the AME specifically and return... what?
