I have found that the portlets are executed first then the tabs and the header. I need to create and store some information and objects to be used by the portlets before any portlets have executed. Therefore After login, but before portlet execution I need to do some processing. I thought the header.jsp would work until I found out it gets created after the portlets. Can someone tell me how to change the order of creation, or a better/different place to do my processing/setup processes.
