Description

While creating a customized WebBeansContext using a custom SingletonService, I hit the following exception:

Caused by: org.apache.webbeans.exception.WebBeansException: Wrong termination object.
	at org.apache.webbeans.web.lifecycle.WebContainerLifecycle.getServletContext(WebContainerLifecycle.java:225) ~[openwebbeans-web-1.1.5.jar:1.1.5]
	at org.apache.webbeans.web.lifecycle.WebContainerLifecycle.startApplication(WebContainerLifecycle.java:89) ~[openwebbeans-web-1.1.5.jar:1.1.5]
	at org.ops4j.pax.cdi.openwebbeans.impl.OpenWebBeansCdiContainer$1.call(OpenWebBeansCdiContainer.java:128) ~[classes/:na]

I believe this is trying to tell me that the argument to lifecycle.startApplication(obj) should be a ServletContext (it is currently null in my case).

But what is a "termination object" in startApplication() - maybe this exception string belongs to stopApplication()?

In any case, a message like "expected an instance of Foo" would be more helpful than "wrong object".
