This is what you would use for a null view type: <command name="blah"> <controller class="blah.Blah"/> <view type="null"/> </command>
Every view type interprets the model and params differently. The null view does nothing at all - it expects that the controller will have manually handled the response itself. The redirect view type interprets the model (if it is a String) as the URL to redirect to, and any params as request parameters for the URL. This is different than say the document or domify view types, which do completely different things with the model (document puts it in the request attributes, domify converts it to a DOM tree to be handed off to the first transform step). Each of the view types are pluggable modules; you could write exotic view types that did just about anything with the model and viewparams.
