> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.1.5
> Environment: Tomcat 5.5.26
> Reporter: Nikita Dubrovsky
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.1.6

> A very common error when working with JSR-168 portlets for the first time is
> when the servlet context of the portlet app cannot be accessed by the portal
> app. This is usually due to an app server misconfiguration (ex: forgetting to
> set crossContext="true" on Tomcat) or a failed deployment of the portlet app.
> On Pluto 1.1.5, when trying to render a portlet and the servlet context of
> the portlet app cannot be retrieved, a generic NullPointerException is thrown
> from DefaultPortletInvokerService.invoke (line 151). It would be much better
> to throw a PortletContainerException with a detailed message of the problem.
> This is actually already implemented in
> PortletContainerImpl.getPortletApplicationDescriptor (line 387), but the same
> logic is not used in the doRender, doAction, doLoad, and doAdmin methods of
> PortletContainerImpl. This code could be pulled out into a private method on
> PortletContainerImpl, or it could be placed directly into
> PortletContextManager.getPortletContext(ServletContext, String).
