Thanks for your inputs. I got it working now. There were some problems related to versions of jar files in WEB-INF/lib. Moreover, it works fine even if I remove the faces-servlet mapping from web.xml
Yeah, jetspeed does add portlet related stuff like portlet.tld and a servlet (JetspeedContainer) to web.xml Thanks to you and Stan for helping me get it working. I have taken the blank.war from myfaces-examples.zip(downloaded from apache site) and converted it into a portlet. But there is one problem in it. I am losing out the request scoped data. i.e. this simple web app asks the user to enter his name and submit. On submit it takes the user to other page displaying a greeting message with name.It works fine as a web app. But in portlet, it doesnt display the username on the second page. Somehow it loses this data. This issue has been discussed here : http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/[email protected]/2104804.html Is it a bug in MyFacesGenericPortlet implementation?
