javax.el.ELException when deploying portlet in JPP 6

Issue

• One of our portlet developers ran into an issue with his portlet. He deployed the portlet on an OOTB jboss-jpp-6.1.0-final running on Oracle JDK 1.7.0_55 on Windows 7.
  When viewing the page the portlet was deployed on he received this stack trace:

16:53:18,063 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[default-host].[/myepoline_mailbox_portletapp].[jsp]] (http-/127.0.0.1:8080-1) JBWEB000236: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.lang.RuntimePermission" "getClassLoader")

Googling for this problem and found it had been reported earlier as https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBEE-151
Can you please tell me if this is part of a fix we need to apply, if not when will this be applied?
