Symptoms

BPM Task List components can be added to a new page in WebCenter that has been extended with BPM spaces template.
When editing a task list and going to the event tab the contextual events are missing and shows "No Events".
Unable to access portlet's events from component properties in WebCenter

In middleware 11.1.1.6, each Task List component has pre-defined events "HWFSelectTasks".  However, in 11.1.1.7 and 11.1.1.8, those events are missing.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Login to WebCenter as weblogic
2. Go to Administration
3. Under Spaces tab, select Create
4. Specify space name,  select Public as access level, select Team Site as the template, and click on Create
5. Click on Close on the popup window to go back the Spaces list
6. Click on the space that was just created to open it
7. Select Actions -> Create -> Page to create a new page under the newly created space
8. Enter a page name, select Blank as the Page Style, and click on Create
9. On the Editing Page, click on +Add Content button
10. On the Add Content popup window, select Process Workspace Resources
11. On the Process Workspace Resources sub-list, click on the +Add button next to the Task List line. This should add a standard BPM task list to the new page
12. Click on Close button to close the popup window
13. Click on the Edit icon on the Task List line
14. This will bring up Component Properties: Task List popup window
15. Click on events tab, on 11.1.1.6 server, there are two contextual events displayed in the Events field, but on 11.1.1.7 server, it says No events

Or just simple like this:

1. Create a Portal
2. Add parameters portlets (Parameter Form & Display Parameter) - WC_Portlets
3. Choose to edit each of these portlets, navigate to "Events" tab. "No events" is displayed

The following error is also thrown in diagnostic log file:
