Every day I update from trunk and recompile using ant all. This cleans out my Tomcat installation of everything Liferay, including plugins. After starting Liferay, I then deploy the plugins I'm working on.

After this deploy, portlet plugins show up normally, but as soon as you click on a button or anything in them, the following exception is thrown:

After this, I redeploy the portlet, and everything works normally.

For themes, it's a similar issue but slightly different. When the theme is first deployed, it works fine. Then I get the above error with a portlet and redeploy the portlet. After I've redeployed the portlet, the theme becomes unavailable and Liferay displays an empty page and throws the following exception:

After redeploying the theme, everything works properly.

So it seems that upon restarting Liferay, plugins need to be deployed twice, which is not expected behavior.

Cloned LPS-9618: this issue has not been corrected, I still experience it.

I'm also having this issue on 6.0.11 (EE).
Here is how I reproduce it :

• I deploy a custom theme
• I change the value "default.regular.theme.id" in portal-ext.properties to match the custom theme
• I refresh the page : OK, my new theme is used
• I deploy a custom portlet (based on GenericPortlet, but I don't think this has something to do with the issue)
• I refresh the page: an exception is thrown:

I must restart the server to make it work.

It is doing that each time a portlet is deployed... That's quite annoying

Hi frinux,

Please see my comments on the original ticket: LPS-9618. The problem with this issue is that I cannot reproduce it. I've deployed many themes and portlets and have not experienced this exception. You mentioned that you are using a custom portlet and a custom theme, and my guess is that something is not correct in one of or both of those plugins.

If you can demonstrate that the issue is with Liferay and not with your custom work, we can be more helpful in resolving the issue.

I'm closing this issue for the time being. If you find you are able to duplicate this issue using Liferay plugins, feel free to reopen this issue and we'll find a resolution. Thanks!
