An action is what is triggered by a user interaction.
An action will:
- execute a command (delete, add node, ...)
- navigate the application (place changes)
- open dialogs (edit, ..)
Actions vs. Commands
- actions are only used in the UI
- commands are exposed via web services, actions are not
- actions can trigger commands but they know more about the environment
- they will navigate the application, show notification message
- actions are configured in the UI model, commands in the content model
