Actually, I think it's the driver registration that's failing. Since the
DriverManager is being asked to get an appropriate driver for a
particular URL, all available drivers will be queried, including the
JdbcOdbcDriver. It's presence in the stack trace is misleading, but not
particularly troubling.

What /is/ interesting is that this is the /first time ever/ I've seen a
complete stack trace including all the "Caused by" elements from someone
getting this error. I'll quote it because I think it's important:

The root cause is a NullPointerException within the
JdbcOdbcDriver.acceptsURL call: basically, this driver is not properly
checking its arguments for null (it's probably doing something like
if(url.startsWith("jdbc:odbc:")) which means it'll blow up if the URL is
null.

The URL may or may not be null, in spite of this error message. I wonder
if the message itself is inaccurate. I haven't traced through the code,
but it would be nice to know what's going on.

This error has come up over and over on this list and the solution
usually ends up being that you just have to throw out your configuration
and start over again, and everything seems to work out just fine. It
would be nice to know what the real problem is.
