Indeed J2 does this! I had the problem that my own, Struts-based portlet simply did not show any contents when I deployed it the first time. (I only could see the Portlet title and the maximize/minimize etc. icons). The JPetstore portlet (Struts-based, too), however showed content and I could not see any differences between both of them, until ... I looked at the database! J2 stores a lot of portlet and other information here, so initialization, once done for a Portlet is only done in a "reduced" manner on each following startup. That at least is my impression so far. It helps, to run the Maven "quickStart" task, which - besides other tasks - clears the database and refills the initial values. You may as well extract the appropriate SQL scripts for your database and run them manually. > in a place/manner I haven't yet identified for the > portlets. This happens the very first time you start-up J2.

Cleaning and reinitializing the database could solve you're webapp context problem, too. Though it is a rather bad solution. Maybe one can find the tables and fields that need to be cleared, to make J2 startup the next time from scratch.
