/**
* <!-- START SNIPPET: description -->
*
* This interceptor calls <code>prepare()</code> on actions which implement
* {@link Preparable}. This interceptor is very useful for any situation where
* you need to ensure some logic runs before the actual execute method runs.
*
* <p/> A typical use of this is to run some logic to load an object from the
* database so that when parameters are set they can be set on this object. For
* example, suppose you have a User object with two properties: <i>id</i> and
* <i>name</i>. Provided that the params interceptor is called twice (once
* before and once after this interceptor), you can load the User object using
* the id property, and then when the second params interceptor is called the
* parameter <i>user.name</i> will be set, as desired, on the actual object
* loaded from the database. See the example for more info.
*
* <p/>
* <b>Note:</b> Since XWork 2.0.2, this interceptor extends {@link MethodFilterInterceptor}, therefore being
* able to deal with excludeMethods / includeMethods parameters. See [Workflow Interceptor]
* (class {@link DefaultWorkflowInterceptor}) for documentation and examples on how to use this feature.
*
* <p/><b>Update</b>: Added logic to execute a prepare{MethodName} and conditionally
* the a general prepare() Method, depending on the 'alwaysInvokePrepare' parameter/property
* which is by default true. This allows us to run some logic based on the method
* name we specify in the {@link com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionProxy}. For example, you can specify a
* prepareInput() method that will be run before the invocation of the input method.
