Tomcat - Servlet init() called twice upon startup

Question

I have an issue with a standalone Tomcat server (not linked with Apache).

When Tomcat starts up, the init() method of the servlet is getting called twice, i.e., two

Answer 1

If the init() method fails, it may be called again on a subsequent get. Did you check the catalina.out file to make sure that the init() call is not being aborted for some reason?
