    Description

      When Magnolia first deploys, it bootstraps normally and the repository is successfully initialized. These warnings appear in the logs:

      WARN info.magnolia.cms.beans.config.ModuleLoader 15.05.2006 07:36:45 – won't initialize the module workflow since a system restart is needed
      WARN info.magnolia.cms.beans.config.ModuleLoader 15.05.2006 07:36:45 – won't initialize the module mail since a system restart is needed
      WARN info.magnolia.cms.beans.config.ModuleLoader 15.05.2006 07:36:45 – stopped module initialization since a restart is needed

      On subsequent request to a page, a NullPointerException is displayed instead of a login screen:

      ERROR org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/magnolia3].[magnolia] 15.05.2006 07:37:42 – Servlet.service() for servlet magnolia threw exception
      java.lang.NullPointerException

      .......... the stack goes on..........

      Restart Tomcat and the problem goes away. If Magnolia needs a restart, notice to that effect should be displayed instead of a generic NPE stack trace.
