@Maurizio I am indeed using Spring, I will try without Spring. @Dave what i mean by "include" is that I use the <include file=""/> tag
I do understand that Interceptor is singleton-ish. And I do understand if I defined the same interceptor in two different stacks there should be two different instances. However the case is that I only have one interceptor stack and two packages that shares the same stack but the init() is still being called twice. Also I have not declared any other "default" package anywhere in any xml, you are seeing all the packages that I have declared which are "default" and "example" and yet struts complains that I have declared "default" twice. If I have two different packages the interceptor should be instantiated two times then if I add another package the interceptor should be instantiated three times right? but it only gets instantiated two times max. The clarify the sample I created is a very simple app created from the blank war, I only added the bare minimum to reproduce the problem, to be exact init() wasn't called twice when I was using 2.1.8, if I recall correctly this behavior started on 2.3.8. So I want to confirm that this behavior is expected.
