I wrote an annotation based parameters interceptor that extends the current parameters interceptor while allowing you to configure the default "accept" policy for an actions properties, as well as a per-property annotation that can override the action's policy. This lets you use the same interceptor / interceptor stack for all actions, and configure each individually to accept or reject parameters. I would still like to add some regex support to the action annotation. Would this interest you?
