[13:28:19 CST(-0600)] <jwennmacher> OK thanks EricDalquist
[13:30:03 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> so the normal process is:
[13:30:03 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> the pluto servlet that gets stuck in each web.xml gets init called
[13:30:28 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> that does some very basic processing of portlet.xml and then tries to register the portlet via a static method which exists in shared/lib
[13:30:51 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> if the portal has not started yet that registration results in a timer that runs like 1/second to retry registration
