RowColumnController handles a single row or column of content depending
on its setting (remember Motif ? :). Since there's a sequence to manage,
it uses only the "position" attribute of portlet to order it within the
sequence.
MultiColumnController handles a compsite layout with multiple columns, thus
it uses coordinates constraints (row and column attributes) to layout its
content. It's much closer to a grid layout except that it actually outputs
several HTML columns instead of putting each portlet into a single cell as
a grid would do.
So in summary
RomColumnControllerAction = suitable for controller doing layout based on a
single dimension (position)
MultiColumnControllerAction = suitable for controller doing layout on planar
coordinates (row and column coordinates)
Does that answer your question ?
