[FLOW3-general] Use ActionController for Web Requests and CLI, when using Fluid as Templating Engine for Web Requests.

[Georg Ortner]

Wouldn't it be nice to have that functionality right in the MVC framework?
My suggestion is that if there is a method called e.g. showActionJson() it
will be called if it's a json request or showActionCli() for the command
line and so on. And if there isn't an appropriate action especially for that
request type the showAction() will be called. I think this would make the
code easier to read and I don't think it would be such a problem to
implement this. I could dig a little and see if I can do it. Just want to
know your opinion first if this does make sense or does it raise other
issues?

Regards

George
