What exception are you getting? Connection closed? Odds are very good you closed the connection somewhere. Per the servlet spec, init() is called once when the servlet is initialized. It is generally a bad idea to use a single connection in a servlet as all threads running in that instance will be forced to use that connection, which leads to synchronization issues. It is far better to have a connection per request, allocated from a connection pool.
