Init called without calling destroy in JServ

[Ajit]

Hello,

The init method gets called once when the JServ is started. After
about 5-6 hours, the init method is called again without calling the
destroy. The destroy method is only called when server is shutdown
gracefully. How should I ensure that destroy is called everytime the
server calls init.

Regds,

Ajit

But on shutdown, do you see the destroy called once or twice?

What I'm after here; if I recall correctly, the servlet engine is allowed
to create multiple instances of any given servlet class to service client
requests (it's best to check this from the Servlet specification, though).
So, it might be that the first instance is not destroyed before shutdown,
just that an additional instance has been created.
