Description

Allow DBCP to work with old Java 6/JDBC 4.0 drivers without throwing AbstractMethodError.

As of version 2.5.0, DBCP uses methods from Java 7/JDBC 4.1 like Connection#getSchema(). When DBCP tries to call this method, the JVM throws a AbstractMethodError.

DBCP will detect this condition and use null for such schema values.
