Adrian A. updated CLK-685:
--------------------------

    Description: 
AbstractLink binds all incoming request parameters to its own parameter map. 
This makes the link quite easy to use but has the potential to leak parameters 
which isn't targeted at the link.

The problem becomes obvious when using Ajax to invoke a link. Any extra 
parameters passed for the Ajax request will be added to the link parameter map. 
We need to introduce a "strict" parameter binding strategy for links so that 
only those parameters that was defined *before* the processing event should be 
bound. The "strict" policy can be set to "on" for Ajax and "off" for normal 
requests.

See

 for more details.
