You should create a JDBC Connection pool with only the three additional properties "user", "password", "database" i have mentioned in the previous post. When i did so, i could ping the connection pool successfully.
Looks like you have some configuration issues. If you used admin CLI (command line interface) to create the connection pool, please post the exact command you used.
