One (of many) problems with this approach is that it may fail to initialize, but that won't happen until the class is loaded at first use. If an application is broken because the database is inaccessible, it's better to know at deployment. I use a servlet startup listener (javax.servlet.ServletContextListener) to perform initialization.
