Subject: Init method of the = servlet=20 getting called five times

I saw a strange behaviour in tomcat. = While=20 loading a servlet it calls the init method five times (and the destroy = method=20 is not called), whereas with Jserv for the same servlet the init = method=20 is called only once.

Any reasons why this could be=20 happening?

Thanks
