[Helma-user] Actions for Collections

[Hannes Wallnoefer]

Hi Maksim,

I think the original reason not to support prototypes for collections
is that then, the collection would logically be defined in the
collection prototype's type.properties file rather than in the
prototype holding the collection.

Plus, why don't you simply use a mountpoint if you need to define
actions on it? Is there anything a collection can do that a mountpoint
can't?
