Resend (again): 4.0.3: Servlets Loaded Twice?

["Marinko, Jeff" <Je...@intuit.com>]

I'm surprised more people haven't run across this issue...resending again
due to lack of response.

Just a quick question...

I've noticed that all Servlets are loaded twice on Tomcat.  I'm running
4.0.3 on Win2K, and just by looking at the output I can see the same servlet
is loaded twice in quick succession (also, HttpServlet.init gets called
twice, but that's from loading twice).  Is this a known bug/feature?  Any
way to get a servlet to load only once (such as those servlets that have a
great deal of initialization)?

Thanks!

Jeff

If you are getting servlets loaded twice, your configuration is messed up.
The most likely way to cause this to happen is to have a directory under
webapps (so that it gets automatically deployed) plus a <Context> element
in server.xml that points at the same directory, but with another context
path.  What happens here is that you're initializing two webapps from the
same directory -- and the initialization happens for each of them.

Another way to do this would be to mistakenly have two <servlet> entries
for the same servlet class in your web.xml, but I'm assuming you've
already checked for that.
