Init method getting called multiple times

[Gavi Raaghav]

I have a servlet in which in the init method some master data is getting cached.
The problem is that whenever in WSAD i save a resouce in the web project this particular servlet gets destroyed and the init method gets called again thereby rebuilding the entire cache.
The servlet gets loaded on startup.

It's not clear what you mean by this.

If you mean something like "compile a servlet", then yes, the web app will have to reload.

Sounds like an implementation-specific question so with that, moving to the WebSphere forum.

Like Bear said, that's what happens when the web app gets reloaded. Of course you wouldn't be reloading the web app every 15 minutes in production, would you? So I don't consider that a problem worth doing anything about.
