You're probably right. Now that I understand the basic problem behind
all of that I guess it really is more like a hack ATM. But I would
prefer not to have a generic initializeView method as it really tears it
apart and requires a lot of switches in my case.
It would be nice to handle the template in a
"initialize{ActionName}View" method. Nice idea and it would keep the
code clean and lean. :)

I did, but I felt a little dumb since it took a while til I really
understood the problem. :D
