Hi Neil,
It's not that your servlet is calling init 5 times, it's you've got 5
instances of your servlet, each calling init once!
>From your stack trace below, it seems that you (unknowingly?) had your
servlet implement SingleThreadModel, which means a new instance of your
servlet will be generated for each execution thread spawned by the servlet
container. The upside to this is your servlet code can be thread-unsafe;
the downside is performance loss, excessive object instantiation, and in
your case, multiple calls to what you perceived as a "static, single"
initialization function!
