Here's a stacktrace I get when trying to run a portlet in Liferay Portal 6.0.6.
Anyone has a clue what is going on?

The problem is solved. As stated above, the problem was a 100% classpath issue. Though I scanned all the directories with jarscan, I couldn't find any redundancies.. It turned out, that my co-worker used many unnecessary JARs in his part, that unnecessarily were added to my WAR.
It's working now!
Thank you all, too ;-)
