Interface WOActionResults

All Known Implementing Classes:

WOComponent, WOResponse

public interface WOActionResults

The WOActionResults interface is the return type for direct actions. As a convenience, direct actions can return either WOComponent objects or WOResponse objects, both of which implement the WOActionResults interface. This interface defines only one method: generateResponse.

If you want to return any other class from a direct action, then that class must implement this interface.
