http://www.springframework.org/docs/webflow-pr1-api/org/springframework/web/flow/action/MultiAction.html

The default method name called in a MultiAction is the id of the 
current ActionState.

Then again, that JavaDoc page doesn't seem to explicitly mention the 
use of the <action> tag's "name" attribute.  Is that a documentation 
oversight, or is that something that is being phased out in favor of 
this form:

      <action-state id="searchState">
          <action bean="my.search.action">
              <property name="executeMethodName" value="search"/>
          </action>
          <transition on="success" to="results"/>
      </action-state>

While I'm here, I'll ask the question that I've been bumping against. 
Is there a default way to access flow-scoped attributes in a JSP (or 
other view), or must one always copy them into request scope in the 
web flow?  I can live with the latter, but it took me a few brain 
cycles to accept that; I had some unfounded expectation that I'd be 
able to get things out of flowscope more directly.
