Summary: No exception on database error

Initial Comment:
I have eXist running in a servlet container.

If an exception occurs during database configuration, this exception is logged but not thrown again (org.exist.storage.BrokerPool.java:238). This leads to an unhelpful error message later on say "No database instance available" when the database instance is retrieved when a request is handled.

In my case, the actual error was a NoClassDefFoundError but this was harder than necessary to diagnose because the actual exception leading to the error was silently consumed.

A simple rethrowing of the exception in the configure() method would solve this issue.
