Have you configured Continuum to store your working copies underneath WEB-INF? Despite the fact that Continuum defaults to this value, it's a very bad idea. Servlet containers are required to scan everything in WEB-INF/lib (looking for TLDs if I recall correctly.) And if your working copies happen to contain a webapp with a problematic file, Continuum itself may not start. I recommend changing the configuration to put the working copies elsewhere. Unfortunately that only affects newly added projects, to move the old ones you'll either have to delete and re-add them or change values in the database.
