I think there's a problem here that would cause a memory leak when the JDBC Driver is bundled with an application jar. When the driver class is instantiated, it is meant to register itself with DriverManager creating a hard reference to a class loaded by the application ClassLoader. This would prevent the webapp from unloading causing a memory leak.

This would appear to be an existing issue so I applied the patch and resolved the bug. I'll open another to track.
