MVC ControllerActionInvoker and invoking actions

Question

Hi Is it possible to use a custom action invoker without having to instantiate it in the Controller handler factory? For example

//in Custom controller factory

         IController IControllerFactory.CreateController(RequestContext reqContext, string controllerName)
        {
                 var controller = base.CreateCOntroller(reqContext,controllerName ) as Controller;

                  controller.ActionInvoker = new CustomActionInvoker();
        }

Or is there another way I can execute an MVC action without having to use a Custom action invoker?

//Updating the question I have a Controller, say HomeController and Index action. Index is the main action in the controller. Once the Index action get executed, the MVC View will fire multiple actions using Ajax - GET requests (we using jTemplates).

For example //Controller public ActionResult Index() //main action and View {}

     public ActionResult AjaxAction1(string id);
     public ActionResult AjaxAction2();
     public ActionResult AjaxAction3(); 

Now I want to filter some of these actions not to execute depending on certain scenarios. For example I want to stop executing AjaxAction1 when the id is equal to 2.

Back to my original question. Is there a way to achieve this without using the action invoker. The reason that i don't want to use the action invoker is the way my project being structured ended up with circular references.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Found the answer you can subclass the Controller and create the ControllerActionInvoker there.
