[Enhancement] MVC Portlet Action Life Cycle

           Summary: [Enhancement] MVC Portlet Action Life Cycle
           Product: Jetspeed
           Version: 1.4b4-dev /CVS
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Portlets
        AssignedTo: weaver@apache.org
        ReportedBy: weaver@apache.org

Add a simple lifecycle to portlets, much in the same way that request-based pull
tools work.

I currently have implemented this within MVC portlets.  The PortletAction class
now has a public init(Portlet, Context, RunData) method that is initialized
within the GenericMVCPortlet every time the portlet is loaded.  The actual
initialization call is not done by the  portlet but by a custom
PortletActionLoader class that wraps the existing ActionLoader and calls the
PortletAction init() method at load time.  

PortletAction's init() currently populates protected fields such as "portlet",
"portletInstance", "runData" and "context" but could be overriden to provide
whatever initialization maybe required to action being invoked.
