Liferay JSR-168 (Portlets) and Web Scripts

[jett]

I tried creating a portlet in Netbeans that references a Web Script in Alfresco. The webscript has not problems as I can "call" it directly from http://host/alfresco/services . When I deploy the portlet WAR file however, I am getting the following error message from the Tomcat log:

Thanks for yur help.


@Override
   protected void doView(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response)
         throws PortletException, IOException {
      
      response.setContentType("text/html");
      String ipServidorAlfresco="localhost";
        String user="admin";
        String password="123456";

       
     
        HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
        client.getParams().setAuthenticationPreemptive(true);
        Credentials defaultCreds = new UsernamePasswordCredentials(user,password);
        client.getState().setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, defaultCreds);

        String url;
       

        String urlRaiz="/Company%20Home/documentos/";
      
  
         
           String ticket=crearTicket(user,password,ipServidorAlfresco);
         String ticketUser=parsearXMLTicket(ticket);
         String urlDocumentos = "http://'+ipServidorAlfresco+':8080/alfresco/service/documentosalfresco?alf_ticket='+ticketUser+'&car..."";
         
           GetMethod method = new GetMethod(urlDocumentos);
              client.executeMethod(method);
         

      System.out.println(urlDocumentos);
      URL urlDoc = new URL(urlDocumentos);
      urlDoc.openConnection();
      InputStream source2 = urlDoc.openStream();
      String data = readInputStreamAsString(source2);
      PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
      String urlpagina=recuperarUrl(request);
      System.out.print(urlpagina);
      
      out.print(data);
      out.println(urlpagina);
