ControllerInterface
interface ControllerInterface (View source)
Generic interface for controllers
This interface serves as a common contract for all kinds of controllers. That is, in Flow it covers typical ActionController scenarios. They deal with an incoming request and provide a response.
Controllers implementing this interface are compatible with the MVC Dispatcher.

ResponseInterface
processRequest(ActionRequest $request)
Processes a general request.
The contract to the MVC Dispatcher is as follows.
-
The response should be returned directly.
-
For outer ordinary control flow a {\Neos\Flow\Mvc\Exception\StopActionException} with response attached can be thrown which will be handled by the Dispatcher accordingly.
-
To forward the request to another controller, a {\Neos\Flow\Mvc\Exception\ForwardException} might be thrown which the Dispatcher will catch and handle its attached next-request.
