Hi Borislav,
I am the author of your problem, but I am not a Portlet developer. Perhaps I
can help you fix this and you can educate me more on portlets?
Why isn't StartupServletContextListener is called?
What happens if you can fire something like this as your application starts ...
if(servletContext.getInitParameter(StateUtils.INIT_SECRET) != null ||
servletContext.getInitParameter(StateUtils.INIT_SECRET.toLowerCase()) != null)
StateUtils.initSecret(servletContext);
Which version of MyFaces are you using?
If anyone has ideas as to how MyFaces can fix this, be heard here.
