If your talking about the %TOMCAT_HOME%\conf\web.xml, then no it is not
defined in there. It is also not defined in %TOMCAT_HOME%\conf\server.xml.
All I have is the context\WEB-INF\web.xml which I have attached.
I have done some further tests and I actually have a new object of my
servlet class. So it is calling init in one instance of the class and then
creating a new instance of the class and calling init again when the first
request is made. It makes no further calls to init after this.
Also the init method is completing succesfully with no exceptions.
On a side point what does the number in the <load-on-startup> tag in web.xml
mean.

Seems to me I recall that being traced to having a servlet entry in
both the base web.xml and application context web.xml.
