How to add parameters to controller redirect?

Question

In Zend Framework 2 I want to pass an array of parameters from one action to another within the same controller which I did in ZF1 in the following manner:

$this->_helper->redirector->gotoSimple('foo', null, null, $params);

and in fooAction:

$params = $this->_request->getParams();

In ZF2, trying the various answers I have seen here on SO, I came up with the following:

$this->redirect()->toRoute('home/default', array(
            'controller' => 'client',
            'action' => 'foo',
            'param' => 'bar'),
        array('param' => 'bar'));

(trying both the $params and $options arguments of toRoute())

and in fooAction:

$param = $this->getEvent()->getRouteMatch()->getParams();

or

$param = $this->params()->fromRoute());

None works for me. Is there a simple way to achieve what I want (passing parameters with a redirect) or should I go the route of using a container, session or even global variables?

That should work perfectly well, are you sure your route is setup correctly? Are you making sure your controller implements InjectApplicationEvent (or extends the ZF2 Abstract controller provided) — Andrew, Feb 14 '13 at 09:34
No, I haven't set up the parameters in my route. If I do that, it works indeed. But that means that I have to set up a route for each individual action with params. The beauty in ZF1 was that you could use a one for all (segment) route and set up individual params in your controller. — tihe, Feb 15 '13 at 11:34
But you are using toRoute(), obviously this requires a route to work with ;) — Andrew, Feb 15 '13 at 11:50
If you want to pass parameters as query string, here's your answer http://stackoverflow.com/a/15422349/1154069 . To access in controller, use $this->params()->fromQuery('paramName'); — webcoder, Jul 17 '13 at 15:05
@Andrew: yes, that was were the real problem was, see my answer below. — tihe, Jul 18 '13 at 16:26

You could use the forward plugin:

http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.0/en/modules/zend.mvc.plugins.html#the-forward-plugin

public function someAction()
{
    $returnValue = $this->forward()->dispatch('application/controller/index', array(
        'action' => 'other'
    ));

    return $returnValue;
}

public function otherAction()
{
    return 99;
}

You will be able to pass parameters too

But as far as I can see, in order to make that work, I need to set up the parameters in a route. And that was not necessary in ZF1. – tihe Feb 18 '13 at 08:59

In the end, what I did was, instead of using route parameters, using query parameters, since the parameters I used where not route related. That solved the problem.
