Ah, class loading issues. How fun. I guess the next question is where is everything deployed? In other words, where is the PortletBridge deployed and where is your portlet deployed? Are they in separate war files in the deploy directory, or is either of them in the jboss-portal.sar directory (such as in the samples directory). One possibility is including the PortletBridge portlet code in the same war as your portlet (this is what i would do because the bridge portlet is just a sample portlet from PortletSwap). Another possibility is placing both war files in the jboss-portal.sar/samples directory (not guaranteed to work, but worth a shot).
