Description

Portlet filters appear to be getting initialized and destroyed with each incoming request. I expected the filters to work more like servlet filters where they are initialized once when the web app starts and then re-used for each incoming request. The JSR-286 spec states "Only one instance per <filter> declaration in the deployment descriptor is instantiated per Java Virtual Machine of the portlet container" (PLT.20.2.1).
