will be bound to 'foo/bar'. The default Root controller is an example
of setting namespace to '' (the null string).
-=head2 path
+=head2 path
Sets 'path_prefix', as described below.
+=head2 action
+
+Allows you to set the attributes that the dispatcher creates actions out of.
+This allows you to do 'rails style routes', or override some of the
+attribute defintions of actions composed from Roles.
+You can set arguments globally (for all actions of the controller) and
+specifically (for a single action).
+
+ __PACKAGE__->config(
+ action => {
+ '*' => { Chained => 'base', Args => 0 },
+ base => { Chained => '/', PathPart => '', CaptureArgs => 0 },
+ },
+ );
+
+In the case above every sub in the package would be made into a Chain
+endpoint with a URI the same as the sub name for each sub, chained
+to the sub named C<base>. Ergo dispatch to C</example> would call the
+C<base> method, then the C<example> method.
+
+=head2 action_args
+
+Allows you to set constructor arguments on your actions. You can set arguments
+globally and specifically (as above).
+This is particularly useful when using C<ActionRole>s
+(L<Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole>) and custom C<ActionClass>es.
+
+ __PACKAGE__->config(
+ action_args => {
+ '*' => { globalarg1 => 'hello', globalarg2 => 'goodbye' },
+ 'specific_action' => { customarg => 'arg1' },
+ },
+ );
+
+In the case above the action class associated with C<specific_action> would get
+passed the following arguments, in addition to the normal action constructor
+arguments, when it is instantiated:
+
+ (globalarg1 => 'hello', globalarg2 => 'goodbye', customarg => 'arg1')
+
=head1 METHODS
-=head2 $class->new($app, @args)
+=head2 BUILDARGS ($app, @args)
-Proxies through to NEXT::new and stashes the application instance as
-$self->_application.
+From L<Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute>, stashes the application
+instance as $self->_application.
=head2 $self->action_for('name')
Returns the Catalyst::Action object (if any) for a given method name
in this component.
-=head2 $self->register_actions($c)
-
-Finds all applicable actions for this component, creates
-Catalyst::Action objects (using $self->create_action) for them and
-registers them with $c->dispatcher.
-
=head2 $self->action_namespace($c)
Returns the private namespace for actions in this component. Defaults
relative :Path actions in this component. Defaults to the action_namespace or
can be overridden from the "path" config key.
+=head2 $self->register_actions($c)
+
+Finds all applicable actions for this component, creates
+Catalyst::Action objects (using $self->create_action) for them and
+registers them with $c->dispatcher.
+
+=head2 $self->get_action_methods()
+
+Returns a list of L<Moose::Meta::Method> objects, doing the
+L<MooseX::MethodAttributes::Role::Meta::Method> role, which are the set of
+action methods for this package.
+
+=head2 $self->register_action_methods($c, @methods)
+
+Creates action objects for a set of action methods using C< create_action >,
+and registers them with the dispatcher.
+
=head2 $self->create_action(%args)
Called with a hash of data to be use for construction of a new
Catalyst::Action (or appropriate sub/alternative class) object.
-Primarily designed for the use of register_actions.
