I modified my init method as suggested by Yoav. The new init() and its output are shown below.
The addresses printed are different so it appears I have two instances of my servlet. Bill said that "instance-pooling for STM Servlets" is normal behaviour.
I was expecting that, since I am the only person calling the servlet, only one instance would be created and initialised. I guess Tomcat is being clever and getting a second one ready just in case it is needed.
Where can I learn about this behaviour and get control over the number of instances created?
public void init()
//****************
{
System.out.println("init called "+toString());
System.out.println("init call 2 "+toString());
return;
}Starting service Tomcat-Standalone Apache Tomcat/4.0.4 Starting service Tomcat-Apache Apache Tomcat/4.0.4 init called [EMAIL PROTECTED] init called [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Regards Hal
P.S. Thanks Yoav & Bill.
