The Context mapped via ExternalContext is only created on startup of the mbean
and closed when it is stopped. To be able to issue a close on the context there
I would have to add a CacheContext attribute that if set to false would result in
the external context being created on each lookup and would have to be closed
by the client performing the lookup.
