It was https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBJCA-635.
I have released version 1.0.1.Final with the fix - you can use the AS upgrader to update your installation: http://docs.jboss.org/ironjacamar/userguide/1.0/en-US/html/installation.html#installas.
A couple of comments on your patch
- You should use
org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.extensions.novendor as the package name if it is a generic implementation - I would call the class: SQLValidConnectionChecker
- "sql" => "SQL"
- "queryTimeout" => "QueryTimeout"
