[[exo-portal]] NoSuchMethodError with new build

["Kito D. Mann" <kmann@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

We’re using the Tomcat bundle of the latest build (r11432) . Our setup involves copying the JSF RI JAR files into the Tomcat lib directory. This worked fine in previous releases, but with the new build (and presumably changes to the portlet container), we get an exception for every portlet:

 

Stdout:

 

SEVERE: Context [/forum] startup failed due to previous errors

2008/03/21 19:51:56:750 EDT [WARN] portletcontainer - Servlet api 2.4 or below detected. Unable to find method getContextPath on ServletContext.

2008/03/21 19:51:56:781 EDT [INFO] portletcontainer - UNDEPLOY PORTLET APPLICATION: forum

 

Localhost log:

Since this is Tomcat 6, this method should exist. And, since this occurs only on the newest build, I’m thinking this may be a bug in the portlet container. Any thoughts?
