> As part of the wsrp 2.0 specification, there is a mean to export a portlet and then import it back into a server (which may or may not be the same server).
> In order to implement this we need to be able to retrieve the portlet handle (ie portlet ID) and portlet states from the PortletInvoker.
> There are a few changes which would need to be added to the PortletInvoker interface to allow for this to happen:
> - provide access to the state of a portlet. The invoker doesn't necessarily provide a means to retrieve this since it can store the state locally and not passed as part of the portlet context.
> - provide a means to access the portlet id of the original non-cloned portlet. We may need to export a cloned portlet into a server which doesn't have that particular clone (or the clone on the original portal may have been deleted).
> We should add an export method to the PortletInvoker interface to export a portletcontext suitable for export, and an import method which will create a new portlet based on this value.
