I've had this problem too. I came up with a quick workaround:

	Map newParams = new HashMap();
	newParams.putAll(ActionContext.getContext().getParameters());
        newParams.put("foo", value.toString());
	ActionContext.getContext().setParameters(newParams);

It's a hack and I don't really like it but it did work. In the end I've moved 
away from chaining except where I don't need to pass info along the chain. Is 
there a better way to do this?
