[TYPO3-mvc] Possibility to let Extbase-Ext return an array?

Hey Jörg,

That does not really make sense. Actions and controllers are a special 
concept of MVC, while you just need a normal PHP class.

> <example>
> temp.menu = HMENU
> temp.menu.special = userfunction
> temp.menu.special.userFunc = Tx_ExtExample_Controller_Category->menuAction
> </example>
Just use a standard PHP class which has a name like 
Tx_ExtExample_MenuGenerator and create a method named "generateMenuItems".
The above class must reside in ext_example/Classes/MenuGenerator.php.

With the above concept, you do not use the MVC framework of extbase for 
this particular problem, but that's fine (because what you want to do 
does not fit into the MVC concept).

I hope this helps :-)
Greets,
Sebastian
