It's being thrown from ActionServlet.initApplicationDataSources()
The log statement is coming from a resource file.
@see apache\struts\action\ActionResources.properties
line 10
dataSource.init=Initializing application data source {0}
I'm still speculating as to which line of code is the culprit from struts
servlet initialization.
Either a mis-configuration or a bug in either dbcp or beanutils.
