I suspect your Data.getResultSet() method looks something like this:


Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
stmt.close();
return rs;

This is not a legal thing to do, closing the Statement also closes the
ResultSet that was created by it.  The 7.4 driver did not correctly check
this, but the 8.0 version does.  You most postpone the Statement close
until you are done with the ResultSet.
