well, a new class instance is created for each mapping that you have in web.xml. If you only call your servlet with the first mapping, then this is why only one is called.
your context may also be autoloaded in addition to your definition in server.xml. This would cause it to load your context again,therefore your servlet. Disable this bey setting appBase to some other directory.
