Question

Hello i searched for many solutions and tried them, now if got a new error which i do not understand at all. The main problem is that the Portlet does not run and the Console tells us that the portlet started but look for yourself:

Thank you for your answers.

Answer 1

I know my response is late but I have hit my head on this problem for the last day and finally, I found the source of my problem :

Basically, I had gwt-dev.jar and gwt-user.jar in my tomcat/lib/ext. When starting my server, I had the following warning making my portal not starting up correctly.

12:59:08,117 WARN [SAXReaderImpl:429] XSD validation is diasabled because org.apache.xerces.parsers.XIncludeAwareParserConfiguration cannot be cast to org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLParserConfiguration

By removing my jars from the tomcat/lib/ext removed the warning and my portal started propertly.

If you need the jars, deploy them in your portlet.
