This is an issue for Developers. Not for end users. To reproduce:

 

1. Create a module with Portlet that extends from SoyPortlet
2. Create another module with an MVCRenderCommand with the javax.portlet.name pointing to the portlet name created on step 1
3. Create a View.soy on the second module under the resources folder
4. On the MVCRenderCommand, make the render method return "View"
5. Add that portlet to the page

Expected Result:

The portlet renders the contents of View.soy

Actual Result

Portlet is unavailable
