> When using Result annotations, we currently have to use class references to configure the result type.  It would be much simpler and more consistent if we can use the same result types as the XML configuration, such as "redirect-action", "tiles", etc, instead of having to use class names like ServletActionRedirectResult .class and TilesResult.class. 
> So instead of this:
> @Result(name="success", value="main", type=ServletActionRedirectResult .class)
> public class HomeAction extends ActionSupport {
>     // ...
> }
> Be able to do this:
> @Result(name="success", value="main", type="redirect-action")
> public class HomeAction extends ActionSupport {
>     // ...
> }
> or if we are keeping backwards compatiblity, something like this:
> @Result(name="success", value="main", typeName="redirect-action")
> public class HomeAction extends ActionSupport {
>     // ...
> }
