It's unusual to have JDBC drivers automatically reconnect. I could see
an argument for it if you could guarantee that the reconnection was
invisible to the user .. but that's not the case here.

The JDBC spec's Connection lifecycle seems to be aimed at a 1:1 mapping
to real physical connections, anyway. Once it's closed for whatever
reason, a Connection stays closed. If you want to do more work, you need
to get a new Connection.
