In Jetspeed-2 we handle this by capturing all container invocation errors and either returning an appropriate (pluggable/configurable) error
page for non-rendering processing (Action/Event/Resource), or display an appropriate message within the PortletWindow instead.
For Pluto Portal this might require some extensive changes to do something similar, which in that case might be out-of-scope for the purpose
of Pluto Portal itself (if doable with a small fix/patch would be fine however).
Be aware that Pluto Portal is not written for nor targeted at real production usage: its primary and only purpose is to provide a testbed
environment for the Pluto Container.
If you want to expand upon the Pluto Portal yourself, you might be looking at some major rewriting to get it to acceptable quality level
(for that purpose).
If you really need a production ready Portal I suggest looking at Jetspeed-2 Portal instead.
