No, you can't AFAIK. But see below

Then you can use <xsp:expr>parameters.getParameter("postcode")</xsp:expr>
Other solutions would be:
* request attributes
* session attributes
Map is usually java.util.HashMap. It it used to store an arbitrary
number of return parameters from actions, matchers &c. They are
organised hierarchically and accessed through a X-Path like
syntax. New maps are added at a lower level.
objectModel keeps some of the environment and is created in
org.apache.cocoon.environment.http.HttpEnvironment for HTTP and for
commandline in a similar class.
