Portlet filter life cycle

For performance reasons, portlet filters have a limited life cycle.

All filters have the following stages:

Init

The filter will be initialized. To get information about the specific filter settings and portal information, the FilterConfig is given to the init method of the filter. After the call of the init method, the filter will switch to the use mode.

Use

Filter requests are handled by the doFilter method.

Destroy

The filter is taken out of service and the doFilter method will not be called again. This way, system resources can be given back to the portal.
