      I managed to reproduce this issue by calling cls.remove(cl) first in debugger in SemaphoreConcurrentLinkedDequeManagedConnectionPool.returnForFrequencyCheck method.

      Switch to validate-on-match which does not produces such exception.

      This is a follow-up of JBJCA-1362. Issue was fixed only partially there so I'm creating a new task, since I do not have permission to reopen it and we did not get response there from a few weeks.

      We have configured background-validation and sometimes it produces NPE:

      2022-10-17 15:55:14,007 WARN  [org.jboss.jca.core.connectionmanager.pool.validator.ConnectionValidator] (ConnectionValidator) IJ000602: ConnectionValidator ignored unexpected runtime exception: java.lang.NullPointerException

      When such thing happens, connection validations breaks and we needed to restart server to make it working again.
      This code when NPE is thrown looks like this:

      private void linkLast(E e) {
    Node<E> newNode = newNode(Objects.requireNonNull(e));

      Also, this issue may be a sign of deeper issue, since map does not contain the listener which is still active. There are a few places where the map is updated by removing cl element. See doRemoveConnectionListenerFromPool method. Before NPE occured, I had a couple of situations when invalid connections were removed from pool. See connection-destroyed.log.txt

      Right before NPE, there were more exceptions, see: NullPointerException.log.txt

      There are more places, when NPE can be throw and they are described in comments in task JBJCA-1362 by other developers.
