Thanks :)

Depends how you want to solve it and how much time you have for a 
complex solution ;)

That's the only way to really separate the cached "showDomainSomethingAction", the cached "showRatingAction" (which gets cleared more often than the output of "showDomainSomethingAction") and the uncached "updateRatingAction".

Back on track? :)

Which would be quite complex …

My suggestion would be to go that path. It is easy to implement and as a 
bonus it fits the "seperation of concerns" principle, having (generic?) 
voting functionality separated from your main domain.

Kind regards,
Helmut
