public class CompositeAction
extends AbstractActionExt

A class that represents an action which will fire a sequence of actions. The action ids are added to the internal list. When this action is invoked, the event will be dispatched to the actions in the internal list.

The action ids are represented by the value of the Action.ACTION_COMMAND_KEY and must be managed by the ActionManager. When this action is invoked, then the actions are retrieved from the ActionManager in list order and invoked.
