This result invokes an entire other action, complete with it's own interceptor stack and result.

Parameters

• actionName (default) - the name of the action that will be chained to.
• namespace - used to determine which namespace the Action is in that we're chaining. If namespace is null, this defaults to the current namespace.

• skipActions - (optional) the list of comma separated action names for the actions that could be chained to.
