ClassCastException for FacesPortlet
I hope someone can provide me some feedback into this error. I've done some research on this error, but the recommendations do not work.
What I have done is created a portlet in JSC and have it working on the Sun Server. Now I am moving the portlet over to Liferay. I've added the two Liferay deployment descriptors within the war file. Now I am trying to deploy the portlet in Liferay and it fails! :-(
What I have found within this forum is the appearance that the application server/portal has duplicate jar files (jsf-portlet.jar). When I search and remove the dublicate portlet jar files from the project the application still fails. Now the error is no class definition found. When I remove the duplicate jar files so only my portlet project possesses the jar file, I still get the same error!
Here is the error:
