Hi Carsten,
thanks for your reply. I already have tried this as well. I set the "method"
parameter inside the action:
Map sitemapParams = new HashMap();
sitemapParams.put("method", "rlist_method");
return sitemapParams;
And I have tried both versions {method} and {$method} within the selector.
In all cases there was no success. I believe that this has something to do
with the action-set. I have the strong impression that the sitemap
parameters can't get outside an action-set to be selected by the selector in
a pipeline using the action set.
If I write:
<map:parameter name="parameter-selector-test" value="rlist_method"/>
the selector does its work. But I can't access the "method" parameter.
Do you know an example where this mechanism is successfully used?
Best regards,
- Volker -

Hi,
I'm not sure if I understand you correctly..but let's give it a try.
If you use something like this:
> <map:act type="XYTestAction" action="rlist">
> <map:parameter name="method" value="rlist_method"/>
> </map:act>
then you define a parameter for the action itself, this
means the act() method of the action gets this parameter.
This parameter is not available to any other component.
An action can return a Map (key-value-pairs) and this
information can be retrieved by all components nested
inside the "map:act" tag, so
> <map:act set="XY">
> <map:select type="parameter">
> <map:parameter name="parameter-selector-test" value="{method}"/>
would work, if some of your actions returned a map containing
a key "method" with the appropriate value.
Please note that it is "{method}" and not "{$method}", the Javadoc
is unfortunately wrong.
HTH
