Hi Paul,
Thanks for the reply, I understand that plugins apply for the entire
framework. However, I do NOT have the ActionServlet declared twice in my
web.xml nor do I have multiple struts-config files.
Here is my web xml for the action servlet.
<servlet>
<description>Struts Action Servlet</description>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/config/struts/struts-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>0</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
Also, my struts-config.xml....
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
<set-property property="pathnames"
value="/WEB-INF/config/validator/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/config/validat
or/validation.xml"/>
</plug-in>
<plug-in
className="com.blah.blah.blah.plugin.ApplicationInitPlugin"></plug-in>
<!-- Tiles plugin-->
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin">
<set-property property="definitions-config"
value="/WEB-INF/config/tiles/tiles-defs.xml" />
</plug-in>
So as far as I know, the ActionServlet.init() method should be called once.
For me it executes twice. I'm just trying to find out why this is the case.

Subject: Re: Struts 1.3.8 Plugins initializing twice
Struts 1.4 contains the fix not to have plug-ins initialized twice. The fact
is that there is no such thing as module plug-ins. Only plug-ins for the
entire Struts framework. If you're seeing initialization twice, it's
possible you have the plugin defined twice within the model or two modules
with the same configuration.
