Tomcat will (upon startup) scan the appBase="..." directory (default is 'webapps') by default and will load any web applications located there. In addition if you have a context defined, it will also load the app again!
Try placing your web application some other place but 'webapps' and make sure you specify the absolute path in the docBase of your context tag.

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??
