Major Description
1) The render method JspViewDeclarationLanguageBase.java in Shared currently only parses/replaces the VIEW_STATE token if its saving the state in the client – this is presumably because MyFaces optimizes the server save state and writes the state key as part of render rather then needing to do the post process parse and replace. Because this code is now shared with the Portlet Bridge and the bridge is designed to run in either a MyFaces or Mojarra environment (and Mojarra doesn't have this optimization) the logic needs to be reworked to preserve the MyFaces behavior in its world yet always do the parsing in the Mojarra world.
2) The render method JspViewDeclarationLanguageBase.java currently calls a protected method actuallyRenderView to render the faces tree. Because the portlet bridge spec allows a redirect to occur during this render it must subclass. However for it to get the benefits of the shared code that kicks off the tree rendering the signature of this method should be modified to return a boolean so the portlet subclass can determine whether the render completed successfully or not.
