What is your jdbc driver version (in the jar/war/ear)?

The lowest exception seems to be:
java.lang.AbstractMethodError: org.postgresql.jdbc3.Jdbc3Connection.getClientInfo()Ljava/util/Properties
that the com.sun.gjc.spi.jdbc40.ConnectionHolder40.init is trying to invoke.

The getClientInfo was only introduced in jdbc4.
So my guess is that you have jdbc3 driver and you have configured a jdbc4 pooling on the server.

If you upgrade to latest jdbc4 driver does it work?
