Script Action

I'm not sure how well this fits in with the current discussions but here
goes...

Actions seem to be on the way to becoming a dominant player in the
Cocoon-as-WebApp arena.  There has already been some concern about what
appear to be tight linkages between Actions and Java and how that could
restrict developers.

Would a ScriptAction, that leverages the BSF much like the ScriptGenerator,
be of use?  Actions could then be implemented in any BSF-aware language.

Just a thought.

This might be a could thought! The only problem which prevented me some
weeks ago from implementing it is the conversation between the script
and the action: The action returns a Map object which must then
be provided in any way by the script.

Whats the benefit beside using a scripting language?
