ConventionUnknownHandler doesn't play nicely with rest plugin
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WW-3368
URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-3368
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Plugin - Convention, Plugin - REST
Affects Versions: 2.1.8
Reporter: David Mc
Priority: Minor
ConventionUnknownHandler's handleUnknownActionMethod() always throws a
NoSuchMethodException which does not play nicely with the REST plugin. The
REST plugin will take urls such as /x/y/z and try and call a z() method on the
action. If no such method exists, the desired behavior should be a 404 and not
an error. My codebase has a second UnknownHandler implementation that takes
care of the 404, but because the ConventionUnknownHandler throws an error
rather than returning null, it never gets a chance to execute. The behavior
that ConventionUnknownHandler should follow is to return null and allow any
other registered handlers have a shot at dealing with the missing method. I
have created a local patch with this change, and it works correctly.
