/**
 * 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.
 *
 * <ul>
 * 	<li>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</li>
 * 	<li>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</li>
