This happens only with 'java -cp' run of the embedded EJB container (in the
'inplanted' mode if it makes a difference):

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
         at
com.sun.enterprise.v3.server.AppServerStartup.stop(AppServerStartup.java:350)
         at org.glassfish.api.embedded.Server.stop(Server.java:442)
         at
org.glassfish.ejb.embedded.EJBContainerImpl.close(EJBContainerImpl.java:144)
