/**
* <!-- START SNIPPET: javadoc -->
* <p>This tag can be used to parameterize other tags.</p>
* The include tag and bean tag are examples of such tags.
* <p/>
* The parameters can be added with or without a name as key.
* If the tag provides a name attribute the parameters are added using the
* {@link Component#addParameter(String, Object) addParamter} method.
* For unnamed parameters the Tag must implement the {@link UnnamedParametric} interface defined in
* this class (e.g. The TextTag does this).
* <p/>
* This tag has the following two paramters.
* <!-- START SNIPPET: params -->
* <ul>
* <li>name (String) - the name of the parameter</li>
* <li>value (Object) - the value of the parameter</li>
* </ul>
* <!-- END SNIPPET: params -->
* <p/>
* <b>Note:</b>
* When you declare the param tag, the value can be defined in either a <tt>value</tt> attribute or
* as text between the start and end tag. Struts behaves a bit different according to these two situations.
* This is best illustrated using an example:
* <br/><param name="color">blue</param> <-- (A) -->
* <br/><param name="color" value="blue"/> <-- (B) -->
* <br/>In the first situation (A) the value would be evaluated to the stack as a <tt>java.lang.String</tt> object.
* And in situation (B) the value would be evaluated to the stack as a <tt>java.lang.Object</tt> object.
* <br/>For more information see <a href="http://jira.opensymphony.com/browse/WW-808">WW-808</a>.
* <!-- END SNIPPET: javadoc -->
*
* <p/> <b>Examples</b>
* <!-- START SNIPPET: example -->
* <pre>
* <ui:component>
* <ui:param name="key" value="[0]"/>
* <ui:param name="value" value="[1]"/>
* <ui:param name="context" value="[2]"/>
* </ui:component>
* </pre>
* <!-- END SNIPPET: example -->
* <p/>
* <!-- START SNIPPET: exampledescription -->
* where the key will be the identifier and the value the result of an OGNL expression run against the current
* ValueStack.
* <!-- END SNIPPET: exampledescription -->
* <p/>
* This second example demonstrates how the text tag can use parameters from this param tag.
* <!-- START SNIPPET: example2 -->
* <pre>
* <s:text name="cart.total.cost">
* <s:param value="#session.cartTotal"/>
* </s:text>
* </pre>
* <!-- END SNIPPET: example2 -->
* <p/>
