/**
 * 
 * This gets a single FacesContext-local shared stringbuilder instance, each
 * time you call _getSharedStringBuilder it sets the length of the stringBuilder
 * instance to 0.
 * 

 * This allows you to use the same StringBuilder instance over and over. You
 * must call toString on the instance before calling _getSharedStringBuilder
 * again.
 * 
 * Example that works
 * 
 * StringBuilder sb1 = _getSharedStringBuilder();
 * sb1.append(a).append(b);
 * String c = sb1.toString();
 *
 * StringBuilder sb2 = _getSharedStringBuilder();
 * sb2.append(b).append(a);
 * String d = sb2.toString();
 * 
 * 


 * Example that doesn't work, you must call toString on sb1 before calling
 * _getSharedStringBuilder again.
 * 
 * StringBuilder sb1 = _getSharedStringBuilder();
 * StringBuilder sb2 = _getSharedStringBuilder();
 *
 * sb1.append(a).append(b);
 * String c = sb1.toString();
 *
 * sb2.append(b).append(a);
 * String d = sb2.toString();
