I have been running into the same problem but there is little in the way of
debug code to what the problem is. Check the paths in your JETSPEED_RESOURCES
file. I think the problem is there, however I tried using a full network URL
with no success. Let me know if you make any progress. Try some like this:
Change this :
portlet.default.url=file:///tomcat/webpages/xml/defaultPortlets.xml
to http://localhost/xml/default/defaultPortlets.xml
and let me know if it works
