Description

Although told in the XML comment just above its definition in the struts-default.xml, the "paramsPrepareParamsStack" stack is not 100% based on the "defaultStack" stack with just an additional reference to the params interceptor.

There are other differences which are unfortunately not documented (for unknown reasons):

• interceptors "debugging", "profiling" and "scopedModelDriven" are removed between "chain" and "modelDriven"
• no parameter set for second ref. to interceptor "params" - while for the defaultStack "params" has this: excludeParams = dojo\..*
• the "excludeMethods" parameter of either "validation" or "workflow" interceptors is missing the additional "browse" value

Additionally since Struts 2.1.x the interceptor "i18n" has been moved just above the first reference to "params". I suppose it's for proper internationalization support, but once again, this is not documented/explained.
