Hi Everyone,

i am getting crazy with following Problem and i struggle with this for 2 days now. I hope anyone can help me.

I created a WebApplication based on following web.xml (i just changed some names)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

	<context-param>
		<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
		<param-value>
			/WEB-INF/context/a.xml,
			/WEB-INF/context/b.xml, 			
			/WEB-INF/context/c.xml,			
			/WEB-INF/context/d.xml		
		</param-value>
	</context-param>

	<context-param>
		<param-name>contextClass</param-name>
		<param-value>org.springframework.web.context.support.XmlWebApplicationContext
</param-value>
	</context-param>
	
	<listener>
		<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
	</listener>
	
	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>servicelayer</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
		<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
	</servlet>

	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>servicelayer</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>/services/*</url-pattern>
	</servlet-mapping>

</web-app>
I run with this configuration for quite some time now, and i noticed that it seems that all my beans are created twice.Thats not problem for stateless beans, but i had to add a cache to a service bean and so, i just noticed the problem.

Whats wrong here and how can i set up the web.xml to load the Beans only once?

thank you in advance
Kai
