Symfony2 How to use parameters.yml in a controller as a variable

I am working with a Symfony2 project.

I am trying to use a pice of data decleared in parameters.yml and use this data in one of my controllers.

I have read this in Symfony2 documentation about getParameters() but it does not work.

In my parameters.yml i have done this: 

sitemap_root_url: http:/example.co.uk/news/

In my controller I am trying this: 

$this->test = $this->container->getParameters('sitemap_root_url');

This is the error I get:

Notice: Undefined property $container

Try $this->container->getParameter('sitemap_root_url');

It works well for me, I use Symfony 2.5.

If you want to use container in your controller you can extend

Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller (Symfony base controller).

// src/AppBundle/Controller/HelloController.php
namespace AppBundle\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;

class HelloController extends Controller
{
    // ...
}

Then you will be able to get your property. Example Controller which works for me:

namespace AppBundle\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;

class HelloController extends Controller
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
            return new Response(
                    $this->container->getParameter('sitemap_root_url');
            );
    }
}

Hey i have to answer (i wanted to edit the first answer) but you have an unnecessary s in your getParameters(), that's all the problem i guess ;)

Apparently $container is not declared in your controller, if you want to access the controller you can extend Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller and then use $this->container->getParameter('sitemap_root_url')

Otherwise you'll have to declare your controller as a service and inject the container.
