You can get access to the params specified within <params></params> in the init(params) method of your wizard or dialog bean.

To get them passed though you have to also add the following line to your action definition:

<action-listener>#{WizardManager.setupParameters}</action-listener>‍

The #{actionContext.id} parameter is only useful of you are performing some action against a node in the repository, this parameter in that case will hold the id of the node the action needs to execute against.

Hope that helps.
