I am trying to implement a portlet filter. I have completed the required ste
ps:

- portlet filtering is enabled in PortletContainerService.properties
- filter is configured in PortalFilterService.properties as below:

# ------ File Content Filter ------ #
# filter name, required
filtername5 = FileContentFilter
# filter implementation class, required
FileContentFilter.classname = myportlet.filters.FileContentFilter
# supported methods, at least one is required
FileContentFilter.method.1 = ActionEvent
FileContentFilter.method.2 = service
# configuration parameter, optional
FileContentFilter.Trace = true

- .jar file containing filter is installed under .../shared/app

I have tried my own filter and the one from the article here http://www-128.ibm.co
m/deve...n/0404_yan.html and got the sa
me results. What is generating the ClassCastException? Why is filter not fou
nd?

Error log is as below:

2005.06.09 13:42:29.352 E com.ibm.wps.services.portalfilter.PortalFilterServ
iceImpl init
EJPFD0011E: Error loading filter FileContentFilter. - StackTrace follows...
