I don't think this is exactly true. I have an app using the mediator design pattern, in which there is only one servlet handling all requests (all of my servlet mappings point to the same servlet). It in turn hands the requests off to various classes and/or JSP pages for actual processing. Within this servlet's init method is where I create my connection pool, configure Log4j logging, etc. I have never seen any case of init being called more than once.

(Technically, every time you define the servlet in the web.xml there is a separate instance, and another instance is created when you use the ServletInvoker to invoke the servlet by /servlet/className.)
