It sure looks like Castor is a poor choice for what the portal is doing. Notably missing from the list is JaxMe.

The latest version of Castor has bugs in the reference handling (as far
as I remember). As we don't use the castor references in 2.1.x (but in
2.2), this shouldn't affect you, so a newer version should work.
