I've finally got the problem sorted out. It was rather obscure, but I think
I could have only solved it because of the "Joy of Open Source(tm)".
When I built my postgresql.jar file, I only put .class files into it, not realising
there were some error_xx.properties file to be put in as well. I was getting
an error during ActionServlet loading because there are documented "not supported"
errors that would throw an SQLException, but since the error_xx.properties was not
there an extra NullPointerException was being thrown (because the ResourceBundle
was null, because there were no .proerties file) and this rippled through the system
and broke init().
I've rebuilt my postgresql.jar file and the system loads, I can access the database
and we'll all live happily ever after.
