Should Bridge use Lifecycle to RestoreView when restoring from memory cache?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: PORTLETBRIDGE-50
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PORTLETBRIDGE-50
             Project: MyFaces Portlet Bridge
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Impl
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Michael Freedman
            Assignee: Michael Freedman


Currently the bridge manually restores the view in the first render after an 
action from memory (because the action can't save the view via faces).  By 
manual I mean it merely sets the viewRoot to the view instead of calling 
Lifecycle.execute.  This means the before/after restoreView phase listeners 
aren't called.  About six months ago we added a hack to the spec/impl to 
require the before listener be called but withheld the after worried that 
running it twice in situation where action/render is usually in a single 
lifecycle could introduce problems.  Well we hit use case where either neither 
of the two or both must be called but not one without the other (Faces demands 
this behavior).  

In discussing this it was raised that maybe we shouldn't have this manual 
process at all -- instead restore the view from memory when necessary as a 
natural part of the RestoreView phase of executing the lifecycle.  

We decided we should try this and determine if there are any side effects.
