Description

The RestWorkFlowInterceptor fails to intercept validation workflow when the method names are customised using struts constants as specified at http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/rest-plugin.html.

This is because although you are allowed to customise the names of the methods using params like struts.mapper.*MethodName, the code in the interceptor uses static strings to refer to methods which could have been changed in custom config by user.

I have submitted a patch that takes into consideration any custom configuration in users applications.
