hi, as you may know, actions get parameters via avalon Parameters. if you look at the API you see that the parameters in the end can only contain strings. so you have no direct way to pass objects of other type.
but you could pass your objects e.g. via request/session attributes. have a look at the respective docs/API. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Im Auftrag von jcplerm Gesendet: Dienstag, 21.

This is an example: <map:match pattern="myHello2.html"> <map:act type="ObjectRetriever"> <map:act type="CheckParamType"> <map:parameter name="objParam" value="{objParam}"/> <map:generate src="jlerm/test1.xml"/> <map:transform src="jlerm/test1.xsl"> <map:parameter name="zzz" value="20"/> <map:parameter name="objParam" value="{objParam}"/> </map:transform> <map:serialize type="html"/> </map:act> </map:act> </map:match> "ObjectRetriever" puts an object into its return hashmap, with key "objParam". It is passed to "CheckParamType" with the same name. Unfortunately, tracing code in "CheckParamType" logs the fact that objParam is of type java.lang.String, when it should be something else (like a Vector, for instance). Any ideas how I could do that?
