Description

I'm using MyFaces 1.1.4 within a portlet and I'm noticing that MyFaces is being initialized twice. Its causing a warning because multiple copies of my managed beans are being created. Here is the log output, I'm using Liferay 4.0.0 and tomcat 5.5.17.

Both org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener.initMyFaces() and org.apache.myfaces.portlet.MyFacesGenericPortlet.initMyFaces() check a context attribute to see if MyFaces is initialized before invoking org.apache.myfaces.config.FacesConfigurator.configure() but both actually check and set a different attribute name.

StartupServletContextListener uses:

static final String FACES_INIT_DONE
= StartupServletContextListener.class.getName() + ".FACES_INIT_DONE";

MyFacesGenericPortlet uses:

protected static final String FACES_INIT_DONE =
MyFacesGenericPortlet.class.getName() + ".FACES_INIT_DONE";

I find that if I override MyFacesGenericPortlet.initMyFaces() to do nothing, everythings works and I avoid the duplicate managed bean warnings.
