parameters better integrated into the ActionContext. In particular, the
parameters should populate the parameters map in the ActionContext, and
OGNL should be used for the Action population rather than by custom
means.
Also, it would be interesting to make the result selection happen
outside the Action somehow. For example, say you had an Action that
returned HTML. It would be interesting to somehow call that Action via
Ajax but get JSON back instead, without the Action having to return a
different result code. "
Rainer, I'm going to submit my patch for the autocompleter the way it is
now, and when we get this done, (if we do) then I will modify the
example, sounds good?
