Description

In some servlet event listeners, JNDI context lookup fails.
I encountered this issue while testing the following use case:

• When http session has became invalid by timeout, web container automatically updates the logoff datetime to database system.

So I have made sample application to reproduce this issue and the tested results.
This stack trace is one of NG results:
