As already stated, the realm does logs the exception so any error which is
occuring may be discovered by the server administrator. 

For security purposes, the user should be denied access with the default webapp
or container error message. Anything less is a security violation. 

This will NOT be fixed in tomcat.  

If this is still an issue, I recommend extending JDBCRealm (which is a non-final
class) with your proposed fix and deploy it to $CATALINA_HOME/server/classes dir
(as well as following all the needed instructions for writing a custom realm)
