I've not done this myself, so the following is just a guess.

I think you'll first have to use "ExtendedBaseRules" rather than the
default "RulesBase" class as the pattern-matching engine, so that you
can use patterns with trailing wildcards. 

I don't know if the XmlRules stuff allows you to do this from an xml
config file, but it is easy to do in code:
  digester.setRules(new ExtendedBaseRules());

You should then be able to add a CallMethodRule triggered by the pattern
"parameters/*".
