I can apply some real-world examples here:

I'm in a screen that is updating document metadata, and the form submits to
UpdateMetadata.action. But UpdateMetadata.action is actually an alias for a
complex chain:

ValidateMetadata -> BeginTx -> StoreMetadata -> CommitTx ->
StoreMetadataInHtmlFiles -> LoadMetadata -> showmetadata.jsp

Well, that could then probably be rewritten as:
ValidateMetadataProxy -> TxProxy -> StoreMetadataInHtmlFilesProxy -> StoreMetadata action
where SUCCESS = showmetadata.jsp and the JSP has an <action> tag pointing to LoadMetadata. Much nicer. Less code.

Are there any other cases where the "side-effects" *should be* "real actions", or could all of those be rewritten with action proxies?
