Howdy, Depending on how you mess up your configuration, e.g. have autoDeploy set to true and have an explicit <Context> element with the same docBase but different path than your app directory, then tomcat may deploy your application twice, thereby initializing and destroying everything (listeners, filters, servlets, JNDI contexts, etc.) twice. This is legit behavior per your configuration. Be very careful in how you deploy your applications.
