why is init method of actionservlet being called twice?

[Alex Colic <al...@pop-ware.com>]

Hi,

I have subclassed actionservlet. In the init method of my subclass I have
called super.init();

For some reason as I step through my code the init method of my subclass is
being run through twice.

Any idea why?

my web.xml file is as follows:

  <!-- Action Servlet Configuration -->
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.myCompany.rd.pwActionServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>application</param-name>

<param-value>com.myCompany.rd.reqPro.ApplicationResources</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>config</param-name>
      <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>debug</param-name>
      <param-value>2</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>detail</param-name>
      <param-value>2</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>validate</param-name>
      <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

Regards
