Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I have a Servlet that keeps a reference to an instance of a Singleton class that does something when the servlet is created and when the servlet is destroyed. Also that servlet class has the doService method available to get some information about the singleton but whenever I call that method (Using a url GET method) the Singleton is created again like it wasn't loaded from the Servlet's init method but I can see from the logs files that it was. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Johann
