set <load-on-startup> in web.xml for your servlet. This will call init() when tomcat is started as opposed to the first call.
Are your applet and browser calling the same url? If you defined multiple <servlet> definitions for your servlet in web.xml you will get separate instances. Also if you have your context loaded twice: defined as a <context> in server.xml and autoloaded.
