This should work. But in order for it to work the ToggleNotification class must have a method getCompanyId() and Details must have a method setCompanyId(...), and the types of the result/parameter must match. When actions are chained then all properties with getXXX methods are called on the first action, and then the corresponding setXXX method is called on the second action. The HTTP parameters are not set again on the second action, if that is what you thought. (At least I do not think they are set, without looking at the source now).
