Servlet's loading twice on start-up--DRIVING ME NUTS!

[Jeff Wishnie]

I have a very simple Tomcat install with one application. The web.xml for
the applicaiton loads two servlets on start-up.

According to my logs both servlets have their init() methods called _twice_.

I've looked through the list archives and gone through the mentionned causes
of this problem and, assuming I understand the issues, have ruled them out.

1. The servlets are _not_ throwing exceptions

2. I have only _one_ context defined in server.xml and it is _not_ the
default context.

I'm going nuts here and would be very grateful for any help folks on the
list can provide.

Here are the details of my set-up:

Tomcat: 4.1.7-LE
JDK: 1.4.0_01
OS: Redhat 7.2

Tomcat layout:

One web application in: $TOMCAT_HOME/ROOT/MyApp

Here are revelant sections from $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml:

  <Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="ROOT" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="false">
        <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
                 directory="logs"  prefix="localhost_log." suffix=".txt"
                timestamp="true"/>
        <Context path="/" docBase="DeluxeCal" debug="0" crossContext="false"
reloadable="false" />
  </Host>

[note that "autoDeploy" and "reloadable" are false and that the Context
path="/", _not_ ""]

Here are relevent sections from  $TOMCAT_HOME/ROOT/MyApp/WEB-INF/web,xml:

 <servlet>
        <servlet-name>initServlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>com.foo.InitServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>10</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>serviceInit</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>com.foo.ServiceInitServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>endpoint</param-name>
            <param-value>http://foo.com/service/bar?wsdl</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>20</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

Why is Init getting called TWICE for each servlet??

Help!

Thanks!
