Null Pointer Exception

1

I’m getting a NPE when trying to connect to Dremio from the JDBC driver v17.0.0

It works ok locally on my Mac, but when deployed in a Linux container it fails.
Any ideas?

For fun I tried v15 and got the same -

I switched to the eclipse-temurin base image for the docker containers, and now it works.
