呵呵，那郁闷的问题解决了

Map params = ActionContext.getContext().getParameters();
原来params是以数组的形式存参数值的，修改后的程序段为：
    public Object getModel() {
        if(userDTO != null) return userDTO;
        Integer pid = null; 
        String sid = null;
        Map params = ActionContext.getContext().getParameters();
        if(params.get("id")!=null)
        {         
             sid = ((String[])params.get("id"))[0];
        }
        if(sid!=null&&!sid.equals("")) {
            try {
                user = userService.getUserByID(new Integer(sid));
                //po 转换成 dto
                userDTO = new UserDTO(user);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                log.error("该用户已不存在",e);
            }
        }else{
            userDTO = new UserDTO();
        }
        return userDTO;
    }
