The actual case is probably not helpful for discussion, but here's a
simpler one:
Let's say you use the LanguageShuntFactory for some commands. And for
another (possibly overlapping) set you have a ShuntFactory that chooses
the content-type to deliver based on what the browser says it will
accept. Call it ContentShuntFactory.
Perhaps the biggest issue with having multiple shunts is that if they
both return a mode for a command, which view do you choose? You really
need pairs of modes. i.e. if language modes are "en", "fr", "de", and
content modes are "wap", "standard", you could potentially have 6 (3 x
2) different views.
I guess I am envisioning something such as multiple mode attributes:
<command name="runQuery">
<controller class="org.foo.Query"/>
<view name="success" shunt="content">
<view name="success" content="wap" path="wap/en/queryResults.jsp"/>
<view name="success" content="wap" lang="fr" path="wap/fr/queryResults.jsp"/>
<view name="success" content="wap" lang="de" path="wap/de/queryResults.jsp"/>
<view name="success" path="en/queryResults.jsp"/>
<view name="success" lang="fr" path="fr/queryResults.jsp"/>
<view name="success" lang="de" path="de/queryResults.jsp"/>
</view>
</command>
