/**
 * 
 * This is a simple XWork interceptor that allows parameters (matching
 * one of the paramNames attribute csv value) to be 
 * removed from the parameter map if they match a certain value
 * (matching one of the paramValues attribute csv value), before they 
 * are set on the action. A typical usage would be to want a dropdown/select 
 * to map onto a boolean value on an action. The select had the options 
 * none, yes and no with values -1, true and false. The true and false would 
 * map across correctly. However the -1 would be set to false. 
 * This was not desired as one might needed the value on the action to stay null. 
 * This interceptor fixes this by preventing the parameter from ever reaching 
 * the action.
 *

 * 	paramNames - A comma separated value (csv) indicating the parameter name 
 * 								    whose param value should be considered that if they match any of the
 *                                     comma separated value (csv) from paramValues attribute, shall be 
 *                                     removed from the parameter map such that they will not be applied
 *                                     to the action
 * 	paramValues - A comma separated value (csv) indicating the parameter value that if 
 * 							      matched shall have its parameter be removed from the parameter map 
 * 							      such that they will not be applied to the action
