[Geoserver-devel] Reload configuration causes web admin Status Page error

Hi,

We have just upgraded Geoserver to version 2.2.1 from 2.1.4 – everything seems to be fine except for an extremely annoying error when trying to reload configuration. The version information of my installation is:

Version: 2.2.1
Git Revision: e9186dc27d188a1032c741bbdd3c2b5c6e8c9ba0
Build Date: 24-Oct-2012 11:49
GeoTools Version: 8.3 (rev 18d69e8c7ff795cacf4369156fa3c185f8aad2c0)

The issue is that when the configuration is reloaded, either through the REST api or the web admin, the status page will no longer load and presents an error. Steps to replicate the issue are:

  1. Login to Geoserver
  2. Click on “Server Status”
  3. Press “Reload” button
  4. Green status message at top confirms reload successful
  5. Click on “Server Status” again
  6. “Oops, something went wrong…” message

The error reported on the page is:

Any ideas how this issue can be resolved?
