Did you by any chance evaluate the defwebapp form from within an  
editor to a listener or directly into a listener ? This does not work  
and might give you an error like the one above. You have to write  
defwebapp forms in a file and compile or load them as a whole.

The reason is that the defwebapp macro uses (or *load-truename*  
*compile-file-truename*) to resolve the static root relative against  
the location of the source file.
