> 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.
