Params on Actions in Struts.xml

[Chris Pratt]

After looking through the DTD for struts.xml (
http://cwiki.apache.org/WW/strutsxml-examples.html) it says that the
following is legal in struts.xml:

   <action name="home">
     <param name="paramName">paramValue</param>
     <result>home</result>
   </action>


I've been attempting to figure out how to get the value "paramValue" from
the action, but it seems to be ignored.

Is this supported?  Is it just for future use?  If not, how can I get that
value?

Thanks.
