The web application appears to have started a thread named [HikariPool-1 housekeeper] but has failed to stop it

Question

I am trying use HikariCP JNDI DataSource Factory within Tomcat 8.5 but when it shutdown I'm getting these warning:

o.a.c.loader.WebappClassLoaderBase       : The web application [ROOT] appears to have started a thread named [HikariPool-1 housekeeper] but has failed to stop it. This is very likely to create a memory leak. Stack trace of thread:

My Hiraki configuration was setup following the JNDI DataSource Factory (Tomcat, etc.) document, and is something like this:

<Resource name="******" auth="Container"
      factory="com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariJNDIFactory"
      type="javax.sql.DataSource"
      minimumIdle="5" 
      maximumPoolSize="10"
      connectionTimeout="300000"
      driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver"
      jdbcUrl="jdbc:postgresql://******"
      dataSource.implicitCachingEnabled="true" 
      dataSource.user="******"
      dataSource.password="******" />

I've found this link but it doesn't help because I'm using Hiraki as a resource inside Tomcat.

I'm using Tomcat 8.5 HikariCP 2.5.1

Any help? Thanks.

All you need to add is this at the end of your Resource:

           closeMethod="close"/>
