I don't know if this is your problem, but while creating my own portlets I
ran into a gotch-a :
In the jetspeed-config.jcfg file, I got a "class not found" error, followed
by the error you posted, due to white-spaces inside the <classname> tags. In
your post, I see no white-spaces (ie space or CarriageReturns) but I was not
sure if you modified it when posting it to this group. In my case, the Linux
pico was automatically moving the classname to a new line creating the
white-space. Making it even more difficult, white spaces are not displayed
in error messages so it is not apparent they are there.
I hope your problem is this simple - though it took me hours to find it :/
Meanwhile, perhaps others could use the heads-up.
