Struts 2 dynamic result type

I have read the Struts 2 documentation concerning dynamic results, but in the examples shown i can only influence result parameters, not the result type itself.

Is it possible to programatically define the result type for an action? for example: i would like to create a database which maps results (Strings) into correct types. In this case the result type is not known on the application startup, struts 2 should determine the result type (and its parameters) each time the action is executed by querying the database.

Is it possible to realize this scenario?

Results can be defined in struts.xml or using annotations (conventions plugin). Both approaches require results to be configured at design time, though.

You might be able to create a custom result which acts fairly dynamic, but honestly, it doesn't seem like a good design to me. I don't follow what defining result types in a database would do for your application. Perhaps you can give some more details on what functionality you're trying to achieve, someone can provide a better answer.
