Could this be done with a custom application listener of the faces context? I am too familiar with the spec at that level, but it seems to be the one in controlling the invoking of the action method? If so, there could be a custom listener written that has an abort boolean property or something of the sort, that if set to true will not invoke the action?

You can give it a shot though: Andrew, I was thinking the same thing. However, I don't think either method aborts the current phase. It merely prevents any future phases from executing. responseComplete() actually means you've already "drawn" a response page. renderResponse does mean what you're saying, which is to skip to the render response phase. Matt, I think your best bet is to look at the LifeCycleImpl code and see what goes on when renderResponse is true. I know it kills any pending events, and you probably can use similar code to kill your existing action event. The other thing you can do is have your action listener set a flag somewhere, and then have your action take a look at the value of that flag when it starts up.
