Well, we are up to about 24 classes from org.springframework.web.servlet
ported to org.springframework.web.portlet. DispatchPortlet is getting
closer. One question is what to do about Action requests which are not
expected to generate any View. Feels like I need another method on
HandlerAdapter.
// Render Requests
ModelAndView handle(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response);
// Action Request
void handle(ActionRequest request, ActionResponse response);
maybe we'll be rendering views tomorrow...
later.
