The docs also suggest:
Map params = (Map) message.getProperties().getProperty("RequestInfoMap");

It also returns null.

My goal is to get to the "stuff" and "happens" pieces of the URL. 

This is on a HTTP GET.

The jboss-esb.xml

   <actions mep="RequestResponse">
    <action class="myactions.MyAction" name="myCustomAction2"/>
   </actions>
  </service>
 </services>
</jbossesb>

The action code:

package myactions;

import java.util.Map;

import org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.AbstractActionLifecycle;
import org.jboss.soa.esb.helpers.ConfigTree;
import org.jboss.soa.esb.message.Message;

public class MyAction extends AbstractActionLifecycle {
	public MyAction(ConfigTree config) {
	}

	public Message process(Message message) {
		String messageString = (String) message.getBody().get();
		// Map params = (Map) message.getProperties().getProperty("RequestParameterMap");
		Map params = (Map) message.getProperties().getProperty("RequestInfoMap");
		System.out.println("Params: " + params);
		System.out.println("Default message body is: " + messageString);
		message.getBody().add("***" + messageString + "***");
		return message;
	}
}

This looks like it is a documentation error, can you try the following instead?

final HttpRequest httpRequest = HttpRequest getRequest(message) ;
final Map<String, String[]> params = httpRequest.getQueryParams() ;

Does this work for you?

Kev

I should have put in the link to the docs I am reviewing:
http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_SOA_Platform/5.0.0/html/ESB_Programmers_Guide/ch09s09s04.html

And the following does work:
final HttpRequest httpRequest = HttpRequest.getRequest(message);
final Map<String, String[]> params = httpRequest.getQueryParams() ;
System.out.println("Params: " + params);

It's also in the HttpMessageComposer javadocs

Thanks Kevin! After further testing, I am saying this is a doc bug.   Assigning to Darrin.

This is a candidate for SOA 5.1.0
