Thanks Bob.  I threw it in and then also tried trowing it in a couple other
places.  The only new information was from putting it above line 305(a new
exception is thrown on line 305 so below won't do much :^).  This is what
I've got now:

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at
com.internetcds.jdbc.tds.Constructors.newConnection(Constructors.java:296)
        at com.internetcds.jdbc.tds.Driver.connect(Driver.java:257)
        at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
        at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
        at BasicServlet.doGet(BasicServlet.java:49)

And here is what line 296 is:
   public static java.sql.Connection newConnection
        // ... snip ...
         return (java.sql.Connection)connectionCtor.newInstance(params);
        // line 296 ^^^^^^^^^^^^
