SEVERE: Caught an exception while invoking method 'setFlag' on object 'Lock

Question

While try to run load test data , I got the exception as follows..
SEVERE: Caught an exception while invoking method 'setFlag' on object 'LockManager'. Releasing locks.
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
Finally I got a hint ,
"If the running Deployment Template script breaks halfway through its execution due to an unhandled
exception, or is manually interrupted by a user pressing Ctrl-C while it is running, the lock remains
set within the EAC"
The resolution is ,
On Windows: .\runcommand.bat LockManager releaseLock
update_lock
On UNIX: ./runcommand.sh LockManager releaseLock up¬
date_lock

After spending some time on this, I looked at the source code for com.evermind.server.ThreadState
This is the code that throws the exception:
if(applicationThread != null && applicationThread.httpHandler != null && applicationThread.servletInfo != null)
try
server = applicationThread.httpHandler.request.getApplication().getApplication().getServer();
catch(Throwable t)
System.out.println("caught exception while getting the server instance " + t.getMessage());
t.printStackTrace(System.out);
It looks like this method expects a httpRequest, and would find null because I'm in the servlet.init()
(at least, that's my interpretation)
I tested my code (the remoteFacade.create()) inside of a jsp, and it worked...
So, the next logical question is:
Can I make EJB calls from within the init method of a servlet? (or more specifically from a struts plugin, which I believe should be more or less the same thing)
If so, do I need to take extra steps?
Again, any experience/help on this will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Christophe.
