We're upgrading our Content Delivery from 2013 to 8.5, migrating from Oracle DB to MS SQL DB, and so we're also refactoring our custom extensions with the new 8.5 jars. We used the 2013 deployer's tomcat to serve some JSPs, which queried the Broker DB (Oracle Database) using tridion's jars. Since the Content Delivery services in 8.5 uses embedded Tomcat instead of a standard Tomcat installation, we created our own instance of Tomcat 8.5.4 to serve these JSPs using Tridion 8.5 jars, but we can't get it to get data from the Broker DB (now MS SQL Database). In 2013 we used Oracle DB, and we're migrating to MS SQL in the 8.5 upgrade. When the query object calls the executeQuery() method, it always returns null so on the next line it throws a NullPointerException.
