JSF Portlet - Backing bean is called twice !!

652953

Hi,
I am using JSF 1.2, WebLogic Portal, WL server 10 MP1. I created a simple Weblogic JSF portlet with a form which takes the user first name, last name etc and maps to a backing bean method when submitted by user. Backing bean is scoped to session. When i submit the form through the JSF portlet (.portlet), backing bean method is called twice. But when i hit the faces (*.faces) directly (not going through the portlet), backing bean is called only once.*

Did anyone face similar issue with JSF portlet? (backing bean called twice going through the portlet)

Would appreciate your help.

Thanks
