The ww:action is not used for AJAX interactions with the server. There
are several UI widgets that can be AJAX enabled - the one you would be
looking for is the remote DIV. But, this would be most helpful in a
webwork application to make it portlet-like, not sure how it would help
when deployed into another porlet container.

I have a requirement to possibly build a new web application to
support portlets and also be displayable in a standard Java EE

Do you mean any portlets or JSR-168 portlets?
Actually I am unsure of the portlet world.
I believe the target server is going to be a Weblogic Portal server.
So I am assuming it will be JSR 168 portlets.
Does this make a huge difference?
Basically it looks like the web application has to
support two view styles.
One style is the classical Tiles and regionalisation of the
JSP view. For instance you would have a corporate header,
footer, a navigation menu and a content area. This is something
that every web developer like myself has done over the
last five years.
The other style is to chuck all the extra tiles stuff away like
the header, portal and menu system. For the portlet view
just render the content region. The content
view is the same as it would with the Tiles regions.
I have called this a ``style'', but now I come to think
of it ought to be called a ``mode'' as in mode of (render)
employment.
Thoughts are most welcome, even from the
Component-oriented people.
Any more ideas more than welcomed.
How about this as food for thought: http://jspcontrols.sourceforge.net
From the book WebWork in Action, I believe Webwork can implement
some aspect of a page controller methodolody, by using the
<ww:action> tag inside a JSP. In this way a WW action can
render a portion of the view. What I dont know is if you can
use the <ww:action> tag to render AJAX components i.e.
AJAX styled box out or dependency list drop downs.
BTW: The JSP Control live examples look nice.
Thanks
