In my contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent) we set some global variables --- static fields. Yet surprisingly, sometimes these are already set when contextInitialized is called.
I thought that contextInitialized is called when, and only when, the JVM is initialized. Is it possible that GAE Standard Environment is initializing already initialized instances? Does GAE somehow keep old instances around and reinitialize them? (I note some documentation on "resident instances <https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/how-instances-are-managed>", but I am not sure if that is connected.) (The config, as seen in the Cloud Console, includes automatic_scaling: min_idle_instances: 1 max_idle_instances: 1 ) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
