The init() method of all of my servlets is being called every 10 seconds or so. I verified this by adding a System.out to the init() methods of my servlets. However, the server is not restarting- just init gets recalled, even with no load on the box at all. I have no idea where to begin debugging this, but it does appear to be affecting performance.
The API states "The servlet container calls the init method exactly once after instantiating the servlet." I added an instance and static variable to the servlet, to see whether the init method was being called multiple times on the same instance or if new instances were being created.
