An Action widget. An Action widget can cause an
ActionEvent to be triggered
on the server side, which will be handled by either the event handlers defined in the
form definition, and/or by the
org.apache.cocoon.woody.event.FormHandler FormHandler registered with the form, if any. An Action widget can e.g. be rendered as a button,
or as a hidden field which gets its value set by javascript. The Action widget will generate its associated
ActionEvent when a requestparameter is present with as name the id of this Action widget, and as
value a non-empty value.

Handle the fact that this action was activated. The default here is to end the
current form processing and redisplay the form, which means that actual behaviour
should be implemented in event listeners.
