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.
