Here is your problem. A statement object is owned by a connection. You
cannot cache statement objects across different connections. What will
actually happen is if you later use the statement, it will still be
using the connection that created it, even if you have returned that
connection back to the pool. What I suspect is happening is that your
connection pool is occasionally closing connections and it just so
happens that the connection closed is the one used by your cached
statement. If you want to cache a statement like this, you will also
need to cache the connection that goes with that statement.
