Re: init() methods, not knowing if this is the cause of the errant behavior but FYI just in case:
Per the API documentation: http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/javax/servlet/GenericServlet.html If you override: public void init(ServletConfig config), you MUST call super.init(config). If you don't, the config member of the base servlet class won't get set, which could cause problems downstream. public void init() - no parameters - is intended to be a convenience method that you can override and not have to remember to call super.init(). It is invoked by GenericServlet.init(ServletConfig).

Strictly speaking, that's true, but the parameterless one is intended to be called by the other. There's no need to override both methods, and I'm not sure what happens when you do. The normal implementation is just to override init(), and let GenericServlet.init(ServletConfig) call that one. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
