Glassfish RAR5058: Error while Resizing pool. Exception : null

I am using GlassFish 3.1.1, SQL Server 2008, and NetBeans with Hibernate 3 and JSF 2.0 to create a web application. I am able to retrieve data with the hibernate API successfully but for some reason, the connection pool becomes null when I try to click a commandButton that takes me from one page to another page. In the action method, I am simply making a call to getOriginCount() but the hibernate API is giving a weird null error. Not sure if it's glassfish pool, hibernate, or sql server.

Here is the method where the nullpointer happens at session.beginTransaction(); The HibernateUtil class is generated by Netbeans.

public Integer getOriginCount() throws Exception {
        Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();

        session.beginTransaction();

        Integer originCount = ((Long) session.createQuery("select count(*) from origin").uniqueResult()).intValue();
        session.getTransaction().commit();

        return originCount;
    }

The NPE seem to originate from a SQLServerDataSource.getConnection call. It is possible that either your datasource or database is incorrectly configured. To start with, I will try disabling failover clustering.
