Hotdeploy of a portlet war, see the portlet.xml loaded before the web.xml
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GTNPC-76
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/GTNPC-76
             Project: GateIn Portlet Container
          Issue Type: Quality Risk
            Reporter: Dimitri BAELI


CONTEXT:
* A war with a portlet deployed in EPP/GateIn

PROBLEM:
* As seen in the Forum (http://community.jboss.org/thread/157804) the servlet / portlet init order is changing between normal startup and hotdeploy. 
* This breaks the hotdeployment of Spring MVC Portlets (which requires the Spring RootContext to be initialized).
* This is a quality risk as the loading order is not consitent
* This breaks the hotdeployment feature of JBossStudio of manual HotDeployment, and it's a huge pain for developpers

REPRODUCE:
* To reproduce, I've created a minimalist project (without Spring) that shows the difference between start order init order (normal/hotdeploy).
* Put the war in a EPP/GateIn deploy dir
* Start the server
* The logs will contain this for the fresh start-up:
{code}
03:14:47,514 INFO  [STDOUT] SampleServlet init.
...
03:15:38,088 INFO  [STDOUT] HelloWorldPortlet init.
{code}
* Touch the war file in the deploy dir
* The logs will contain this for the fresh start-up:
{code}
03:16:24,907 INFO  [TomcatDeployment] undeploy, ctxPath=/PortletAndServletLoadOrderTest
03:16:24,979 INFO  [STDOUT] HelloWorldPortlet destroy.
03:16:25,180 WARN  [MainResourceResolver] Cannot find servlet context module
03:16:25,181 INFO  [STDOUT] SampleServlet destroy.
03:16:25,322 INFO  [TomcatDeployment] deploy, ctxPath=/PortletAndServletLoadOrderTest
03:16:25,461 INFO  [STDOUT] HelloWorldPortlet init.
03:16:25,467 INFO  [STDOUT] SampleServlet init.
{code}
* Where we see that the Portlet is inited before the portlet

EXPECTED:
* web.xml is initialized before portlet.xml when the war is Hotdeployed, like during a normal startup
