MG>then in the the case where
<-- Example 2 -->
<s:url action="editGadget">
<s:param name="id" value="%{#parameters.search['id'}"
/>
<s:url action="edit" includeParams="get">
<s:param name="id" value="%{'22'}" />
</s:url>
the value 22 will be assigned over any customer.id as the includeParams="get"
takes precedence
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/url.html
How would you handle the scenario of assignment precedence for includeParams?

MG>are you voluntering to create a maven archetype for this?
