Servlet called 3 Times, not once

[sam wootton]

Hi,

Thanks in advance for any help or advice. It is very much appreciated.

My Servlet is being called 3 times, instead of once.

I have a Servlet that is used called using:

HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost( < my servlet url >);
HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
MultipartEntity multipartEntity = new MultipartEntity();

// These are both FileBody instances (a zip and xml file)

multipartEntity.addPart("userUploads", userUploads);
multipartEntity.addPart("uploadInfo", uploadData);

Here i call the service:

HttpResponse response = client.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity resEntity = response.getEntity();
client.getConnectionManager().shutdown();

The problem is that my Servlet is being aclled 3 times.

The number of times its getting called is the same as the number of entities i add (+1).

So if i remove e.g.

multipartEntity.addPart("userUploads", userUploads);

... then it only gets called twice. If i remove both entities, then it gets called once, i guess because of:

HttpResponse response = client.execute(httpPost);

So it gets called 3 times. But this means all my server code ie executed 3 times.

Regards, Sam

One thing ive noticed in my Servlet logging, is that with each call, it gets a little further than it did before the previous call.

There is a pattern (i wonder if this is a clue as to what is going on?):


MFServer.doPost()
MFServer.doPost()
MFServer.doPost()
