This is how WW1.x command driven actions are implemented. What I don't like about this implementation is that anyone who know a little bit about how WW works can twiddle with URLs to call other methods. Maybe not a huge risk, but just ugly.
People can choose not to use different methods on their actions, but I want the ability to use it to keep from having a proliferation of Action classes.
