Pass value to controller using Javascript in Visual Force

So, I am trying to start recycling my visual force pages/controllers by passing values in the URL string to determine some of the basic info in my cases instead of having individual pages/controllers for each circumstance.  I have my javascript that reads the URL and I have my controller making the changes on the back end for each circumstance, now I have to connect the two but I am having a bit of a difficult time... any suggestions?

 

VF Javascript Code

 

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
var GETDATA = new Array();
var sGet = window.location.search;
if (sGet)
{
    sGet = sGet.substr(1);
    var sNVPairs = sGet.split("&");
    for (var i = 0; i < sNVPairs.length; i++)
    {
        var sNV = sNVPairs[i].split("=");
        var sName = sNV[0];
        var sValue = sNV[1];
        GETDATA[sName] = sValue;
    }
}
if (GETDATA["PageConfigName"] != undefined){{!PageConfigName} = GETDATA["PageConfigName"];}
</SCRIPT>
 
 
Apex Controller getter/setter code (not complicated lol)
 
 
 public String PageConfigName{set;get;}
 
Thanks for your help in advance!!

What's the URL look like? You might be able to get these values directly to Apex with no javascript.
 
na3.salesforce.com/mypage?id=asdfasdf&name=John 
  
Id objectId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id');
String firstName = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('name');

Thank you very much, that worked perfectly and is exactly what I was hoping for. I knew there had to be a way to do this without using javascript.  You just saved me a ton of time and code. 
 
Thanks!
