Weird thing is, if I load the same .war file into WAS 6.1 directly, this portlet works!

I've tried packaging this war as an ear file, deploying it on WAS (where it works), and then use the 'predeployed war' option in XMLAccess to configure Portal to use the predeployed war file. Again, this doesn't work, and gives the same error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
