Hi Charles,
Thanks for reporting this! It turned out to be a regression bug in Liferay Portal 7.1+: LPS-91672. You can click Start watching this issue to be alerted when the status of the ticket changes and/or the bug is fixed. I've included a potential workaround on the ticket. Please give that workaround a try and let use know if it works for you as a temporary fix.

Liferay 7.1 JSF Icefaces portlet error after 15 minutes

2019-03-06T15:48:39Z

Liferay 7.1.2 GA3 CE tomcat bundle. Liferay Deverloper Studio 3.1.2 ga

Using Developer Studio i create a new Icefaces project with Gradle build type. I build and deploy it with no changes. Drop it on a page and refresh page to get the view shown in attached file. If i leave the page up and check back after 15 minutes or so, there is an error displayed that the portlet is unavailable. Below is the exception i get in the Liferay console. I am currently upgrading a portal from Liferay 6.2 to 7.1 and icefaces 3.1. Is there documentation on how to deploy the icefaces jar. i am providing the default gradle file too, in case there is something else needed.
