He's absolutely right.
The servlet init() method is only guaranteed to be called once in the
life of the servlet engine (or whenever the .class file changes and it is
reloaded). Once the servlet is instantiated in the servlet engine, it
services many requests (i.e. doGet()).

It wouldn't be load every hit. Only when you determine that the "correct
querystring is present".
