      public void processAction(UIPortlet uicomponent, WebuiRequestContext context) throws Exception
      This processAction method associated with the portlet UI component does the following work: 1) If the current request is one that target the portal than an event targeting a Portal level ActionListener is sent. This case happen when the incoming request contains the parameter PortalRequestContext.UI_COMPONENT_ACTION (portal:action). When the event is broadcasted the methods is over 2) In other cases, the request targets the portlet either to a) change the portlet mode b) change the window state c) make a processAction() or render() call to the portlet container (Portlet API methods here) In those 3 cases, dedicated events are created and broadcasted and the portlet is added in the list of components to update within the AJAX call
