IE uses to call an url twice. I have come upon this behavior. I am not sure of the reason. I have also seen, that the default method for the HEAD request calls the GET method with a dummy HTTPServletResponse. It just returns the headers, that are sent by the servlet. This may be your problem, IF you are accessing the bean in the GET method also. Try a few things to clear this out (log in all methods to see what method is called when). This is quite unclear, but I have come to think that it is IE to send a request twice. I have seen it try to access a jsp, then the JSP dies with a "Connection Closed By Foreign Host", and then IE requests the JSP again.
I am quite sure it is not Orion, but IE. Haven't seen that with Netscape.
