ExceptionInInitializerError in Karaf 3.0.2 deploying my war - war

Question

Good Day,
Im trying to deploy my war file in Karaf 3.0.2, my servlet is trying to read some S3 files, but I'm getting this error on Instantiating the AmazonS3Client
AmazonS3Client s3Client = new AmazonS3Client();
2015-01-09 13:04:02,205 | INFO | pool-7-thread-1 | S3Properties | 75 - my-domain - 3.0.1.SNAPSHOT | Loading file from S3: my-web.properties

I thought it was a problem on my static block but I'm thinking it's not, as I have tried to create a simplehelloworld servlet that calls the same class that has this static block and it worked reading the S3 files
static {
System.out.println("test 1");
instance = new MyProperties();
try {
System.out.println("test 2");
instance.load(PROPS_FILENAME);
reloadable = true;
System.out.println("test 3");
} catch (Exception e) {
try {
System.out.println("test 3");
// try to load the file from the classpath instead
instance.load(MyProperties.class.getResourceAsStream("/" + PROPS_FILENAME));
} catch (Exception e1) {
logger.error("Exception caught when loading properties: {}", PROPS_FILENAME, e);
}
}
}
Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated
Thanks
