/**
*
* Designates a method corresponding to the portlet API destroy method.
* The annotated method must have the following signature:
*
* public void <methodName>()
*
* where the method name can be freely selected.
*
* the destroy
method is called by the portlet container to
* indicate to a portlet that the
* portlet is being taken out of service.
*
* Before the portlet container calls the destroy method, it should
* allow any threads that are currently processing requests within
* the portlet object to complete execution. To avoid
* waiting forever, the portlet container can optionally wait for
* a predefined time before destroying the portlet object.
*
* This method enables the portlet to do the following:
*
* - clean up any resources that it holds (for example, memory,
* file handles, threads)
*
- make sure that any persistent state is
* synchronized with the portlet current state in memory.
*
