The init() and init(ServletConfig) methods are part of the servlet API - the container calls init(ServletConfig) and that method then fires init() - so if they are not getting called then I don't think it has anything to do with Struts. Have you checked your logs for any errors?

I have an old application written using Struts 1.1 that has a subclass of ActionServlet which overrides the init() method to load data from some XML files. It works fine w/ Struts 1.1. I haven't touched it for years but now need to do some work on it. My current Netbeans environment has Struts 1.2.9 and I figured I would just update it to the newer version but for the life of me I can't get the system to call the init() method. I have the subclass listed as the action servlet in web.xml (snippet below) and I can break in the doGet and doPost methods so the servlet is definitely being used as the ActionServlet in the application. Why isn't it calling the init() and/or init(ServletConfig config) methods? <servlet> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <servlet-class>TimeClockServlet2.TimeClockActionServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>config</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>debug</param-name> <param-value>2</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>detail</param-name> <param-value>2</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> Warm Regards, Dave
