There should be a message in the web server's log file or in the servlet
engine's log file (you didn't say what you're using).
Since the exception was thrown in the init method and not in the doGet or
doPost method the exception is not associated with a request and so is not
displayed in the browser.
Displaying detailed error messages in the browser is servlet engine specific
anyway, some may not do it since detailed error messages could give away
information that could be considered a security risk.
