Parameters interceptor can ignore parameters based on the name, but not on value. You could extend the parameters interceptor and check for values before binding, or what Dave suggested. A tip there, if you go with Dave's suggestion, have into account that the parameters in the context is a new map, built from the parameters in the request, so removing them from that map won't remove them from the request.
