[jsr-314-open] FacesContext API

[Dan Allen]

According to this statement in the JavaDoc for the release() method:

"The implementation must call
setCurrentInstance(javax.faces.context.FacesContext)  passing null to remove
the association between this thread and this dead FacesContext instance."

If the call FacesContext.getCurrentInstance() returns null, then the
FacesContext for the current thread has been released.

With that said, I do believe that it would be reasonable to have a
getReleased() method to compliment release() as is true of the
getResponseComplete() and getRenderResponse() methods for responseComplete()
and renderResponse().
