*
* The event id of the last not-null result returned by the executed actions will be used as the result event id of the
* composite action. Lacking that, the action will return the "success" event.
*
* The resulting event will have an "actionResults" event attribute with a list of all events returned by the executed
* actions, including the null events. This allows you to relate an executed action and its result event by their index
* in the list.
*
* This is the classic GoF composite design pattern.
