ServletContextListener.contextInitialized called for every virtual host!?!?

[Federico @ Work]

Hi,
in my tomcat it seems that the method
SerlvetContextListener.contextInitialized() is called for every virtual host
i add in Tomcat server.xml configuration files.
(i've tested it with some log lines)

I've tryed to move the application from standard webapps folder to another
folder but the problem seem to remain.
Someone can help me to understand how it works?
thank in advance

The context is completely different for each virtual host. I haven't
tried it, but you may be able to hold global data in classes initialized
off the default context. Read the docs on classloader scoping to see if
it will.
