What I'm trying to accomplish is slightly more complicated than that. Part
of why I am doing this is I want to resolve 6 action-event functions into 1,
since the primary difference between them is just this "entity" type. By
using Keith's suggestion and a little bit of my own, I am populating a
hidden field with the correct type, getting that parameter in my action
event by using:
(String)data.getParameters().getString("entity");
and I'm all set :)
thanks for the help!
