Description

During handling of a render request, the FacesPortlet calls restoreView on the view handler, but not createView if the restoreView returns null. This is causing the Shale view controllers not to be invoked when there is no view stored in the session (for instance the first time the portlet is invoked).

The following change to FacesPortlet line 453 resolves this:
// context.getApplication().getViewHandler().restoreView(context, vi);
ViewHandler viewHandler = context.getApplication().getViewHandler();
UIViewRoot view = viewHandler.restoreView(context, vi);
if (view == null)

{ view = viewHandler.createView(context, vi); view.setViewId(vi); context.renderResponse(); }
