Description

If the FacesContext that was created during startup and/or shutdown is not released, then the ExternalContext object could be reused. On some appservers this could cause problems if they are performing any additional initialization in their servlet context impl. This at the case in WebSphere, but could also apply to other appservers which add internal extensions to the servletContext in their implementation classes.
