RE: Best Practices Please

Issue 3 - You below example seems like a perfect fit for servlet filters.  Have a filter defined with your "runBusinessLogic" and mapped to the commands it applies to.

I can't get CVS downloads to work from my system, I've tried a few times before with some Jakarta projects and have had no luck, is there another way of getting the latest source release for Maverick in a ZIP.

I think there is a misunderstanding here.
 
In the middle of processing a controller, I may wish to end without returning a View id. instead, I might wan't to invoke a totally different controller based on some logic.
 
An example may clarify, (though this is not exactly what I'm after but you should get the idea)
 
the following URLs would call 3 differnt commands.
   http://server/app/runCmd1.m
   http://server/app/runCmd2.m
   http://server/app/runCmd3.m
 
each comand does what ever and returns a view string.
 
I would like to do something simmilar to the following
 

   http://server/app/runBusinessLogic.m
which would do its thing (business process) and return the view that needs to be displayed
 
or
 
   http://server/app/runBusinessLogic.m?foward=runCmd1
   http://server/app/runBusinessLogic.m?foward=runCmd2
   http://server/app/runBusinessLogic.m?foward=runCmd3
which would also do its (business process) but instead of returning a view string, it would execute another command (as stated in the foward key) and that command would return what ever view it wants.
