If the action invocation as described in the previous post is used, then
an interesting possibility to do components arise. Basically, if one
wants to do HMVC type pages (where a page consists of many smaller
"portlets") then it's useful to have a "card layout" of sorts, which can
switch what to do and display depending on some parameter. In WW we had
a CardPane action which handled this. Here we can do something similar,
but a little more interesting with the following config XML:
<action name="mycomponent" class="Component">
<interceptors-ref name="default"/>
<result name="success" view="mycomponent.component"/>
<result name="pane1" view="pane1.jsp"/>
<result name="pane2" view="pane2.jsp"/>
<result name="pane3" view="pane3.jsp"/>
</action>
So if you include "mycomponent.component" in a JSP page the filter will
be triggered and the Component action is executed. Now, of course
there's no such view, but execute() will never return SUCCESS anyway, so
that doesn't matter. Instead it will return pane1/2/3 depending on some
parameter ("mycomponent=pane1" for example).
Could work.
