a javadoc warning wont stop emails coming to this list :)

onbeforerendercalled() is also an ugly way, uglier then onpopulate() which
is at least more semantically named.

the root problem is that java does not contain a compiler directive that
would check for this, there is some support for this in JSR305, but who
knows when that will come to fruition. until then the only sure way to do
this is to make the method final :|
