Let's say I propably want to do something processing in the future with
that action, but do not currently need to do anything. So simply
forwarding to a view. If I have 100 links everywhere in my application
to point that action.jsp... I have to change all of them when I want to
have some processing made prior forwarding to view... so I change all
the 100 refs to action.action. But If I can do this mapping straight via
views.properties or action.xml file then I just need to modify that file
(and of cource propably write an proper action class to do the work).

I do not want to call action from the view, because I think that it's
not the views work to do manual execution of actions. Instead I want to
them happen transparently to a view. And I that processing gives me some
output, then I update a view to show that information.

I also do not want to write any dummy classes that justs forwards to a
view, but does not do anything else.
