Re: View Loading and Caching

I see what you are saying about potential problems if the same renderer is not used throughout the site.  I have to think about the idea of attaching actions to view renderers.  Do you think it would be better just to do the work you are speaking of in your custom renderer as you had originally planned, or do you think it is necessary to find a more generic solution which can be used for any renderer?

On a side note, is this "problem" a result of FreeMarker's design?  Would the same type of thing be useful in the case of Velocity, WebMacro or other view renderers?
