To the value of myAttr.toString(), am I right?
Don't you think that next thing that will be needed is to get a value in
some other way, e.g. using an XPath with DOM objects, e.g.:
{session:myDOM#/root/errors/error[@id='myfield']}
? So, the quantity of input modules will start to grow as actions' did.

I'd also add:
"app-attr" for servlet (application) context attributes
"app-init-param" for servlet init params
Hm...
Won't it be better to have one parametrized InputModule, say for, "request"
and use it to get all the needed data from the request, be it a param,
attribute, header or maybe request URI, etc? The same for "app" module, that
will be used to get: servlet context attributes, init params, context name,
etc.?
I don't have a good idea on how the syntax can look like for this (maybe
"request:param:/...", "request:attr:/", etc.)?

Some were above.
