RE: Servlet Context Initialized more than once

["Shapira, Yoav" <Yo...@mpi.com>]

Howdy,
It's because you have both autoDeploy/liveDeploy enabled (which makes
tomcat scan the appBase directory for webapps and deploy them
automatically), AND a Context explicitly defined in server.xml.  So
tomcat does both and that's why you get double deployment.
