I am running into an issue that I think I have seen previously, but I don't remember how I solved it.. I had a custom portlet registered in UserApp, and for some reason deleted it with the intentions of re-registering it again. When I select the portlet branch under the Portlet Admin page, all I get is:
PortletContainerImpl: failed to run the portlet: 'RegistrationPortlet'.
Any ideas what the problem could be? In the UserApp server.log I get Ebo errors and NullPointer exceptions.
Here is an abridged version of the log:
