/**
 * Simple helper action to allow passing sitemap variables to InputModules.
 * Sitemap evaluation of input modules using the curly bracket syntax e.g.
 * {defaults:skin} suffers from the fact that it is not
 * possible to use a sitemap variable as part of the invocation like
 * {defaults:{1})}. This action takes three parameters, the name
 * of the input module, the attribute name, and whether to call getAttribute() or
 * getAttributeValues(). Thus the above becomes
 * <pre>
 *   &lt;map:act type="inputmodule"&gt;
 *     &lt;map:parameter name="module" value="defaults"/&gt;
 *     &lt;map:parameter name="attribute" value="{1}"/&gt;
 *     &lt;map:parameter name="single-value" value="false"/&gt;
 * 
 *     &lt;!-- do something with the result: "{1}" --&gt;
 * 
 *   &lt;/map:act&gt;
 * </pre> 
 * The action invokes the 
 * {@link org.apache.cocoon.components.modules.input.InputModule#getAttributeValues(String, Configuration, Map) getAttributeValues()}
 * method and returns all results numbered from "0". If no result exists,
 * "null" is returned and the nested block is skipped.
 * The name of the input module to use may be preconfigured when
 * declaring the action in your sitemap:
 * <pre>
 *     &lt;map:action name="inputmodule" 
 *                    src="org.apache.cocoon.acting.InputModuleAction" 
 *                    logger="sitemap.action.inputmodule"&gt;
 *        &lt;module&gt;defaults&lt;/module&gt;
 *        &lt;single-value&gt;false&lt;/single-value&gt;
 *     &lt;/map:action&gt;
 * </pre>
