Probably too late the solution, but I am stuck with the jtds driver here. Hope this saves half an hour of your productive time.

The fix is to specify a validationQuery to the Apache dbcp2 Connection Pool implementation. For jtds/sql server I specified the spring configuration as follows:

In case you are not using Spring, call setValidationQuery method on BasicDataSource in your java code.

BasicDataSource bds = new BasicDataSource();
bds.setValidationQuery("select 1");
