Answer 1

Redeploy your portlet again. I faced same issue. I stop server and then clean my portlet then I started my server. When I checked in browser then I got internal server and in console " portlet contains a null bag". I deployed again and the it is coming perfectly.

I can confirm - removing my portlet from webapps in liferay's tomcat folder and then deploying it again solved the issue. – Mcmillon

Answer 2

The most common solution for this problem is that just undeploy the portlet from the tomcat and redeploy it.
