I found the solution. You can allocate a render parameter on the ActionResponse object that is passed to the controller action. This tells liferay to load the supplied view. i.e.

public void editSlide(ActionRequest actionRequest, ActionResponse actionResponse) throws IOException, PortletException {

    // action code goes here

    // set up the view
    actionResponse.setRenderParameter("mvcPath", "/views/edit.jsp");        

}
