We discovered that this error occurred because the only JDBC
resource reference was removed from the web.xml file, but the
resource reference entrywas not removed from the
ibm-web-ext.xmi file.  The customer feels that an error in the
war file should not cause the server to fail.

start up as non-severe, stop the failing application, indicate
the error and continue with other application start up and
finish server initialization.
