Description

There is NullPointerException in log when portal is running under high load.
I've finded in all portal src places when using data, filled in backupValues(). Only PortletEntityImpl.reset() uses this data. But no one method in all portal src doesn't uses PortletEntityImpl.reset().
It's looks like there is a sence to remove calls to backupValues() everywhere in portal src. Isn't it?
