/**
 * Interceptor to forward a request parameter from the {@code ActionRequest} to the
 * {@code RenderRequest}.
 *
 * <p>This can be useful when using {@link ParameterHandlerMapping ParameterHandlerMapping}
 * or {@link PortletModeParameterHandlerMapping PortletModeParameterHandlerMapping}.
 * It will ensure that the parameter that was used to map the {@code ActionRequest}
 * to a handler will be forwarded to the {@code RenderRequest} so that it will also be
 * mapped the same way.
 *
 * <p>When using this Interceptor, you can still change the value of the mapping parameter
 * in your handler in order to change where the render request will get mapped.
 *
 * <p>Be aware that this Interceptor does call {@code ActionResponse.setRenderParameter},
 * which means that you will not be able to call {@code ActionResponse.sendRedirect} in
 * your handler.  If you may need to issue a redirect, then you should avoid this Interceptor
 * and either write a different one that does this in a different way, or manually forward
 * the parameter from within your handler(s).
 *
 * <p>Thanks to Rainer Schmitz for suggesting this mapping strategy!
