com.google.appengine.tools.admin.JspCompilationException: Failed to compile jsp files

[user1722692 via StackOverflow]

I can successfully deploy the GAE Guestbook sample application. This proves that the appcfg.sh uses the JDK. However when I try to deploy Liferay 6.1.1 GA2 exploded war, I'm getting the error:

......780889328952.tmp/WEB-INF/lib/spring-expression.jar: com.google.appengine.tools.development.LocalJspC -uriroot /tmp/appcfg6583939780889328952.tmp -p org.apache.jsp -l -v -webinc /tmp/appcfg6583939780889328952.tmp/WEB-INF/generated_web.xml -d /tmp/appcfg6583939780889328952.tmp/WEB-INF/classes -compile -javaEncoding UTF-8

com.google.appengine.tools.admin.JspCompilationException: Failed to compile jsp files. Unable to update app: Failed to compile jsp files." Please see the logs [/tmp/appcfg2009831034955829214.log] for further information.

Below is what I get in the terminal:

The error and the log is very generic and thus I'm stuck... Your help is much appreciated!

I see someone marked this question as "This question does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful". Could this person who voted this step forward and let me know why he/ she believes so? I tested GAE with the sample application. This in turn rules out that the JDK is the problem, which is typically the solution when you get this error. There are hundreds of posts concerning the error message "com.google.appengine.tools.admin.JspCompilationException: Failed to compile jsp files" but almost all of them get resolved pointing to the correct JDK. This in turn means that this particular problem here appears to be specific to Liferay, which I know is not officially supported to deployable on GAE. However this is because no one tried it yet. The problem I have here is that GAE only produces a very generic error message. What I hoping for here is that someone could provide an indication as to what possibly GAE might not like in order to throw this error. I don't necessarily expect a solution from you, I would be happy with any lead, which I could follow to derive a solution myself.
