Doesn't work. DatabaseSelectAction return an empty map. Values are
available only as request attributes.

It reads them from request parameters. Whether they are set via GET or
POST does not matter.

Have you associated a log target with the action? Otherwise the
messages are lost.
Although they are only in scratchpad for 2.0.x I highly advise to use
the database actions from the org.apache.cocoon.acting.modular
package. BTW those do return a map filled with all the results on a
select.
