public interface Action

Describes a Mentawai action, the central idea of the framework architecture. An action has an input (org.mentawai.core.Input) and an output (org.mentawai.core.Output). An action generates a result (java.lang.String) after it is executed. The result is usually SUCCESS or ERROR. For each result there is a consequence (org.mentawai.core.Consequence). The consequences for a web application are usually FORWARD or REDIRECT. An action has access to contexts (org.mentawai.core.Context). The contexts for a web application are usually a SessionContext or a ApplicationContext.
