I have spent about 2 weeks to try to follow the tutorial to customize a Jetspeed portal, but always failed when i start the server.
All my steps are based on the tutorial " http://portals.apache.org/tutorials/jetspeed-2/";, and I use my own Tomcat server. And I got "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" at the end of "mvn -P tomcat,min", but when i access to the portal, i got this exception: *HTTP Status 500 - type Exception report message description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request. exception javax.servlet.ServletException: Failed to initalize jetspeed.

It seems that it caused by Castor inner bug. Anyone knows what's wrong of that? thanks for reply.
