Sounds like you have two *instances* of your servlet being loaded (so it's two separate instances of contextInitialized() being invoked). This can happen if you have two different definitions of the servlet in your web.xml, and/or perhaps if you have your webapp/context being loaded twice, like one automatically (because of an attribute setting like autoDeploy/deployOnStartup) and once because of a Context element in your server.xml and/or a seperate context configuration file.
