hi, following problem: got an Servlet, just named it JDBCBroker, which make DBConnections (Oracle) in the init-method put it as an startup-servlet for the apache-jserv. When the apache starts the servlet loads. Just fine. The Problem: When i want to access the public methods from this servlet (getDBConnection, freeDBConnection) from other Servlets the init-Method is also runned again. is this a bug or a feature?
