Work Description: lukaszlenart commented on pull request #422:
URL: https://github.com/apache/struts/pull/422#issuecomment-654033477
> Shouldn't we do something in configs, allowing developer to define this
result via struts.xml as well?
No, this result is a plain code-based-result, you cannot define it in
`struts.xml` and it can only be returned directly from an action.
`DefaultActionInvocation`
[supports](https://github.com/apache/struts/blob/master/core/src/main/java/com/opensymphony/xwork2/DefaultActionInvocation.java#L472-L478)
returning results directly from actions for a long time.
> Already there is a PlainTextResult, shouldn't we amend it to extend this
result?
No, the `PlainTextResult` result returns content of a file as a plain text.
This new result allows output any type of content (text, JSON, html) but you
must build it by a hand. That's why I decided to name it a `PlainResult` and
with Java 8 you can use lambdas to construct the output:
```java
public PlainResult execute() {
return response -> response.write("ok");
}
```
