Some ideas: 1. your webapp is loaded multiple times(multiple <Context>, same docBase), thus loading your class multiple times. 2. your servlet is loaded multiple times(multiple <servlet> entries in web.xml) 3. your webapp was reloaded through the manager
>From my experience, I found it worked best to put your java class that loads your library in /common/lib and it will only be loaded once. But if you do this, you will not be able to include this class in your war file. If you try to include it in your war file, your users can not use manager to reload your app and you can not redeploy without restarting tomcat. Also, you will need to rely on the user to put your dll on the system path(windows) since you do not know the actual path where they may install it.
