* An action that is associated with a component. This is used in several areas of Tapestry and is primarily an attempt | |

* ComponentActions should be immutable. They are often created during one request and associated with a particular | |
* component instance. They are then used in a later request (with an equivalent component instance). | |
* <p/> | |
* ComponentActions are serializable (they are often serialized into Base64 strings for storage on the client). | |
