ManagedBeanCreationException issue while setting up for JSF/j_security_check test - jsf

Question

I'm hoping someone can give me a hint at what's going on here with this exception. I'm putting together an environment where i can test out j_security_check with JSF and what I'm noticing is when i redeploy my application without restarting glassfish i see this error. I thought it would be perfectly safe to just redeploy the war but my setup is hosed until glassfish is restarted and war redeployed. I'm worried that this will becomes an issue later down the road. Any advise?
I'm using Glassfish 3.1.2, NetBeans 7.1.2...
