I followed the steps indicated by a) http://www.ociweb.com/jnb/jnbAug2006.html b) http://portals.apache.org/pluto/v11/deploying.html
Successfully created the war file with maven and deployed without errors I still see the exception given below. The URL given in (a) uses JetSpeed2. Do I need that too?

This class should be >org.apache.pluto.core.PortletServlet. With the change done as suggested above the error now is: SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet HelloWorld threw exception java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.pluto.core.PortletServlet.dispatch(PortletServlet.java:196) at org.apache.pluto.core.PortletServlet.doGet(PortletServlet.java:145) I think the exception in the dispatch is because the following session variables are not set: javax.portlet.response javax.portlet.request org.apache.pluto.core.method The relevant code from PortletServlet.java // Retrieve attributes from the servlet request. Integer methodId = (Integer) request.getAttribute( Constants.METHOD_ID); portletRequest = (InternalPortletRequest) request.getAttribute( Constants.PORTLET_REQUEST); portletResponse = (InternalPortletResponse) request.getAttribute( Constants.PORTLET_RESPONSE); I'd appreciate some more help. May be someone can post the web.xml that works! Thanks Murthy
