No, init cannot be disabled. It is your responsibility to ensure proper init processing or alternatively be ready to deal with an undefined state for that servlet. >Is this 1) an issue with garbage collection order 2) some JRE problem, that >persists across Tomcat reloads 3) Potentially a Tomcat bug 4) Me being >stupid ? None of the above. It's an issue with you not properly handling an errorneous init() method. >looking at the log, there might be a 5th possibility relating to Axis being >being busy starting, resulting in a socket timeout that leaves the >communication in an unstable state, does that sound plausible ? Possibly, yes. Only you would know, as that's very implementation specific. >Rather than waste your time by pasting a 1000 lines from the logfile. My >question is simply : what is the most likely cause of my problem ? Make sure you init method catches exceptions and handles them properly.
