Andrew -
Try adding the following line at the beginning of your init method:
super.init(config);
I think the issue is that when you override init(), you're not running the
HttpServlet.init(). In the earlier case, when you didn't override init(),
the HttpServlet.init() would run as part of your servlet's construction.
