+ Action implementations
+
+ While writing action code as POJO logic is the most common, there are several other action implementation options.
+ Sometimes you need to write action code that needs access to the flow context.
+ You can always invoke a POJO and pass it the flowRequestContext as an EL variable.
+ Alternatively, you may implement the Action interface or extend from the MultiAction base class.
+ These options provide stronger type safety when you have a natural coupling between your action code and Spring Web Flow APIs.
+ Examples of each of these approaches are shown below.

+ Action exceptions
+
+ Actions often invoke services that encapsulate complex business logic.
+ These services may throw business exceptions that the action code should handle.
+
+
+ Handling a business exception with a POJO action
+
+ The following example invokes an action that catches a business exception, adds a error message to the context, and returns a result event identifier.
+ The result is treated as a flow event which the calling flow can then respond to.
