I'm not saying servlets were involved -- it just appears that the initialization logic follows the servlet lifecycle specification.
I'm "thinking out loud" here to understand why the behavior may be different between C++ and Java Plugin, but am speculating that the Java Plugin JNI (which, I believe is simply a bridge between C++ plug-in and Java plugin environment) may treat the C++ plugin environment as an event container (similar to Servlets treating HTTP server requests), and manage JVM env. / garbage collection/ etc. similarly, which would result in spurious, "random", asynchronous intialization events. ... just a theory... ...also curious about the mid-tier pure-java question, since it has such a dramatic impact on architecture.
