hi, have you enabled reload="true" in <context> tag in conf/server.xml? -- Manivannan Palanichamy http://geocities.com/manivannan57

This is true for the following situations: - when running in Eclipse (with MyEclipse IDE) debugger, the breakpoints in the servlets init() function are NEVER hit - when running tomcat as service (under Windows) no log entries are written which means init() is never called Any idea what could be wrong??
