Problem Note 30945: Remote portlet fails with NullPointerException when URL does not contain a port number
 |  |  |  |
A remote portlet might fail in the SAS® Information Delivery Portal with the following exception, if the URL defined for an action in the portlet.xml does not reference a port number.
[1/4/08 14:24:41:058 EST] 00000040 ServletWrappe E SRVE0068E: Could not invoke the service() method on servlet /jsp/html/portal/renderRemote.jsp. Exception thrown : java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sas.portal.taglib.remote.RemotePortletTag.includeContent (RemotePortletTag.java:236) at com.sas.portal.taglib.remote.RemotePortletTag.doEndTag (RemotePortletTag.java:119)
To workaround this issue, add port 80 explicitly to the URL. For example, change
http://server/...
to
http://server:80/...
