Error opening socket: soaptest.activestate.com

[Michel Bergijk <mi...@cmg.nl>]

Fellow users,

I have tried to implement a portal that gets information from the Internet,
a Stock Quote portal. When I go to my turbine account to activate this
portal, I get the following error displayed in the portal:
CMG Stock Quote       
CMG stock price: CMGStockQuote.getQuote: Error opening socket: 
soaptest.activestate.com  

When I look into my logfile, I get the following relevant entries:
[Mon Feb 04 10:37:05 CET 2002] -- INFO -- Failed to retrieve
CMGStockQuotePortlet from Portlet
[Mon Feb 04 10:37:05 CET 2002] -- ERROR --  The portlet CMGStockQuotePortlet
does not exist in the Registry

Michel, it does! Both in 
C:\Apache\tomcat\webapps\jetspeed\WEB-INF\conf\local-portlets.xreg and
C:\Apache\tomcat\webapps\jetspeed\WEB-INF\conf\portlets.xreg

The regular portles do not work either:
[Mon Feb 04 10:37:05 CET 2002] -- ERROR -- 
Exception:  org.apache.jetspeed.portal.PortletException: The following URL
is not available because it is considered invalid:
http://www.xmlhack.com/rsscat.php
Stack Trace follows:
org.apache.jetspeed.portal.PortletException: The following URL is not

org.apache.jetspeed.portal.portlets.NewRSSPortlet.init(NewRSSPortlet.java:16
8)
etc.

In the Jetspeed FAQ is explained how to run Tomcat behind a firewall: 
How do you configure Jetspeed to run behind a firewall/proxy? 
I executed these steps, when I look in a dos-box to my TOMCAT_OPTS settings
TOMCAT_OPTS=-DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=nl-proxy -DproxyPort=128

I even run my Jetspeed on the same port as our proxy. I choose to do this
because somewhere in the code I saw that the Jetspeed port is used when
creating a connection to an Internet webserver. I my opinion this should
enable me getting through the firewall.

Other necessary information:
- Jetspeed-1.3a2 release. The regular brand, no building with Ant
- Platform: Win2000 client

My question: Does anyone know what goes amiss? Is this a firewall problem?
