Problem with templates(?)

[ke...@msg.de]

Hello,

I am using weblogic server 5.1 (sp8) and struts 1.0 with jdk1.3.0_02
In a startup.jsp I'm putting a bean into the session and then I forward to 
the login page where I want to use the bean.

If I do this the very first time after server startup, the constructor for 
the bean I am using is called twice (!!). 

After startup.jsp I enter the page login.jsp which calls the constructor 
another time and my settings are gone :-(

This happens only if the pages (_startup.java, _login.java) are not 
generated (only the first time). If I enter the startup 
page later, then the constructor is only called once (if I have a new 
client) or never if the client remains the same.
This is the expected behavior.

Does anybody have similar experiences?? 

Do I have to change settings in weblogic.properties  or  web.xml ??? Is 
this a struts problem??

What makes matters more complicated I use templates: the login page uses 
the struts template and fills the page with 
sidebar.jsp and loginContent.jsp. In the loginContent.jsp I include a 
header.jsp page which uses the bean I initialized 
in startup.jsp.

In the logs I can see the constructor-log just after the following lines:

[DEBUG] 2001-08-22 10:52:13,633 navigation.navigation  <<->> constructor 
call

I added logs after every jsp:usebean -tag but these logs are documenting 
that no constructor is called, if the bean is already in the session.
So I don't know where this constructor call really comes from?? I couldn't 
find a class.instantiate in the _template.java 
nor in other pages where it shouldn't happen...

Any help is appreciated.
