I mis-spoke in the first response. MyFacesGeneric portlet is an implementation of javax.faces.GenericPortlet and converts portlet requests into JSF requests. Obviously this class is important if there is no equivalent implementation in JSF RI. I am have the same issue and will see if I can resolve it without loading MyFaces instead of JSF RI.
