Hi Konstantin, 1. This NullPointerException happens when an application starts up?
(Do the apps perform the lookup once and cache the result, or they perform multiple lookups?) No, it happens after application starts up. The applications perform multiple lookups. 2. What is seen in JNDI context depends on the current classloader (Thread.getContextClassLoader()). Does the issue happen in a request processing thread, or somewhere else? Request processing thread. 3. Does it affect specific web applications, or it is more random? When it happens, it affects all datasources (globals and applications specific) of all applications. 4. Anything interesting in the logs and in catalina.out? E.g. OutOfMemoryError. No, but we're still looking for some lead. 5. What connector implementations are you using? Bio, Nio, APR? APR. The last time that this issue happened was on 11/22.
