fix

The problem appears to be with the GWWebAcc.Jar and GWGwia.Jar snapins. After deleting the snapins from the SYS:\PUBLIC\mgmt\ConsoleOne\1.2\Snapins\GroupWise\ directory the error went away.

GroupWise snapins, per documentation, are only supported with ConsoleOne when running it on a workstation. GroupWise snapins are not supported on the server's version of ConsoleOne. Please delete all GroupWise snapins on the server itself.

This has been noticed on servers with GroupWise installed on it and on servers with no GroupWise on it. Typically the GroupWise snapins will only be installed on the server due to user error.
