Driver "missing" failure after updating MySQL driver to more recent version

Issue

• MySQL driver deployed as a jar deployment

• Datasource defined using MySQL 5.1.29 driver with the following driver reference

  <datasource jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/mysql" pool-name="MySQL" enabled="true">
      ...
      <driver>mysql-connector-java-5.1.29-bin.jar</driver>
      ...
  </datasource>
  

• The deployed driver jar (in <JBOSS_HOME>/standalone/deployments) was replaced with a more recent version (e.g. mysql-connector-java-5.1.44-bin.jar) and the driver reference was updated

  <driver>mysql-connector-java-5.1.44-bin.jar</driver>
  

• Restart fails with errors like the below
