My only guess is that perhaps the servlet is loaded from
2 separate contexts.
I remember having this problem earlier.
I was using the <host> directive in server.xml
to point this web app to an apache virtual host.
At the same time, the auto-conf of server.xml would
also load this web application under a different context
with a seprate class loader, hence your static vars
dont seem to work.
Just my guess.
