/**
 * <!-- START SNIPPET: javadoc -->
 *
 * A base class for all Struts action execution results.
 * The "location" param is the default parameter, meaning the most common usage of this result would be:
 * <p/>
 * This class provides two common parameters for any subclass:
 * <ul>
 * <li>location - the location to go to after execution (could be a jsp page or another action).
 * It can be parsed as per the rules definied in the
 * {@link TextParseUtil#translateVariables(java.lang.String, com.opensymphony.xwork2.util.ValueStack) translateVariables}
 * method</li>
 * <li>parse - true by default. If set to false, the location param will not be parsed for expressions</li>
 * <li>encode - false by default. If set to false, the location param will not be url encoded. This only have effect when parse is true</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <b>NOTE:</b>
 * The encode param will only have effect when parse is true
 *
 * <!-- END SNIPPET: javadoc -->
 *
 * <p/>
 *
 * <!-- START SNIPPET: example -->
 *
 * <p/>
 * In the struts.xml configuration file, these would be included as:
 * <p/>
 * <pre>
 *  <result name="success" type="redirect">
 *      <param name="<b>location</b>">foo.jsp</param>
 *  </result></pre>
 * <p/>
 * or
 * <p/>
 * <pre>
 *  <result name="success" type="redirect" >
 *      <param name="<b>location</b>">foo.jsp?url=${myUrl}</param>
 *      <param name="<b>parse</b>">true</param>
 *      <param name="<b>encode</b>">true</param>
 *  </result></pre>
 * <p/>
 * In the above case, myUrl will be parsed against Ognl Value Stack and then
 * URL encoded.
 * <p/>
 * or when using the default parameter feature
 * <p/>
 * <pre>
 *  <result name="success" type="redirect"><b>foo.jsp</b></result></pre>
 * <p/>
 * You should subclass this class if you're interested in adding more parameters or functionality
 * to your Result. If you do subclass this class you will need to
 * override {@link #doExecute(String, ActionInvocation)}.<p>
 * <p/>
 * Any custom result can be defined in struts.xml as:
 * <p/>
 * <pre>
 *  <result-types>
 *      ...
 *      <result-type name="myresult" class="com.foo.MyResult" />
 *  </result-types></pre>
 * <p/>
 * Please see the {@link com.opensymphony.xwork2.Result} class for more info on Results in general.
