## org.apache.struts2.components
Class Param

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.struts2.components.Component
          org.apache.struts2.components.Param

    public class Param

extends Component

This tag can be used to parameterize other tags.

The include tag and bean tag are examples of such tags.

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 `addParamter` method. For unnamed parameters the Tag must implement the `Param.UnnamedParametric` interface defined in this class (e.g. The TextTag does this).

This tag has the following two paramters.

- name (String) - the name of the parameter
- value (Object) - the value of the parameter

Note: When you declare the param tag, the value can be defined in either a `value` 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:
<param name="color">blue</param> <-- (A) -->
<param name="color" value="blue"/> <-- (B) -->
In the first situation (A) the value would be evaluated to the stack as a `java.lang.String` object. And in situation (B) the value would be evaluated to the stack as a `java.lang.Object` object.
For more information see WW-808.

Examples

     <ui:component>
      <ui:param name="key"     value="[0]"/>
      <ui:param name="value"   value="[1]"/>
      <ui:param name="context" value="[2]"/>
     </ui:component>

where the key will be the identifier and the value the result of an OGNL expression run against the current ValueStack.

This second example demonstrates how the text tag can use parameters from this param tag.

     <s:text name="cart.total.cost">
         <s:param value="#session.cartTotal"/>
     </s:text>
