No, the app only uses 3 servlets or so and I never touched their init()-Methods. The app is based on jsf1.2/seam/richfaces. There are no corresponding exceptions in the logs. The 503 response remains for all requests until I restart the machine, no matter how long I wait.
The odd thing about it is, that the apps are randomly stuck after a restart - some work, some don't.
