Urgent: ias6.5 loses the deployed application when restarted

Question

I have been trying to deploy an application to ias6.5 using the deployment tool , the application works fine until I restart the application server, it gives the "GX" socket error which I guess means that the application is not properly deployed.. please help

I've seen this happen before if component objects are stored in managed beans (e.g. using binding="#{someBean.foo}").
Problems like this can happen if the component is stored directly on the bean as a member variable (most commonly if the bean is application-scoped, session-scoped, or pageFlow-scoped but smaller scopes can exhibit the problem too).
Usually just referencing the components from the accessors on JSF event objects during an event handlers or using one of the various component searching APIs (e.g. findComponent) can suffice in locating the components dynamically.
However, if using one of those mechanisms isn't feasible you must use the ComponentReference as the storage mechanism (and follow the caveats noted in its JavaDoc):

Hope this helps,
