In a JSF portlet, reading preferences returns various values
------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBPORTAL-1321
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1321
             Project: JBoss Portal
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 2.6.Beta1
         Environment: AS 4.0.5, Portal 2.6 beta 1
            Reporter: Adam Warski
             Fix For: 2.6.CR1


In a JSF portlet, during various phases of the request lifecycle, I read a portlet preference, and get different values. More precisely:
* I get the default value of the preference (as written in portlet.xml), during the initial phases (this value is incorrect)
* I get the proper value, from the portlet instance definition (as written in portlet-instances.xml), during later phases

This has many weird implications, like jsf actions seeming not to work etc. I attach a sample portlet in both binary and source versions. When deployed, go to the "testfacelets" page, and click on the "Invoke action" link, and observe output of the server. You'll see that in the beginning, when the "pref1" preference is read, it returns a value from project.xml - 0. Later, the proper value from portlet-instances.xml, namely 1.
