Answer 1

I am basically using a lot class from portal-service.jar to change role settings etc. When I include it in my build path and deploy it again. It doesn't get deployed. On shell it shows the deployment, below is the log:

Did you put portal-service.jar to WEB-INF/lib? If so remove it from there and add it to some other (my_project/lib) directory than add it to build path.

Also make sure that after deployment portal-service.jar is not in your deployed WEB-INF/lib. Better yet, first undeploy than redeploy.
