I think this may help. There are a lot of tricks and confusion with
classloaders and I am not an expert in it.
Some more things to check are:
1) Thread creation may be prohibited by SecurityManager. I'd expect J2EE
containers prohibit such a thing since EJBs are prohibited to create
it's own threads.
2) Postgresql driver may be located in "global" classloader, but used
from "local" one. I am not sure, which classloader will new thread
receive. If it will be "local" one, this will mean global driver will
hold reference to classloader (application) from which it were used for
the first time. "Clever" container may kill such a thread when
application is shut down.
