Exception initializing page context

[nishacharan]

I get the following exception(sporadically) when I access a JSP the first time after starting JBoss 3.0.1. Is this a Jetty bug?

This exception indicates a request in the context when it is stopped. I think there was a Jetty/JBoss bug about this a few weeks ago - but I recall it being when doing a redeploy or a stop?

I'll check this again in tomorrow
