Hmmm, should what be skipped? Any interceptor? Java request-scope
attribute or HTTP request parameter?

In Struts 1, we had a boolean HTTP request parameter (generated by a

a security issue, since anyone who learned the magic word could pass
it from the command line, and ultimately we removed the capability.
