I created a ServletContextListener yesterday to initialize a connection to a business object and make it available to the servlets. The listener is successfully started, however, the contextInitialized method is called twice (and the business object is then created twice). I'm running on TomCat 5.5. My web.xml is at the bottom of this post. Additionally, Eclipse is showing an error on the web.xml -


The error goes away if I take out the listener sections.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff

hi,

the error you got is because of the order of the web.xml sections, the error message specifies the order in which the parser is expecting the sections.

You are writing the <listener> tags after the <resource-ref> tags while it sould be between <filter-mapping> and <servlet> tags.

Thanks for the information on the order of the sections. That corrected the error.

However, I am still getting the listener initialized twice. The listeners code is as follows:
