Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,

SunOne6.1 sp 5 is running my servlet's init() method twice when I put load-on-startup in the web-xml file. Is this a known problem and is there a work around as no amount of synchronising seems to work.

I'm running 2.3.dtd for the default_web.xml file and my entries look like this :-

<servlet>
<servlet-name>RelatisLogin</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.MyServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>7</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

This init method only contains a basic check at the moment :-

public void init()
{
System.out.println("init.....");
}

If I take <load-on-startup> away and run the server then call the servlet via the url it only runs init once.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Chris.
