Custom Struts 2 Interceptor intercept() method not running

I'm trying to create a Struts 2 Interceptor that will change the request to HTTPS and forward all of the parameters. I must have made a mistake in setting it up because the intercept() method is not working. The init() method is running when I start Tomcat up, but when it comes time to run the intercept() method, nothing happens. My code is below split into sections:

//inside the package tag in the struts.xml:
<interceptors>
     <interceptor name="isSSL" class="com.StrutsApp.Interceptors.SSLInterceptor"/>
</interceptors>
 
// this action is defined within my package tag
<action name="newUserProfile"   class="com.StrutsApp.Login.Actions.NewUserProfileAction">
       <interceptor-ref name="isSSL"/>
       <result type="tiles">CreateUserProfile</result>            
</action>
 
 
//Ineterceptor class
 
 
package com.StrutsApp.Interceptors;
 
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.interceptor.AbstractInterceptor;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionInvocation;
 
public class SSLInterceptor extends AbstractInterceptor {
    public java.lang.String intercept(ActionInvocation actionInvocation) throws java.lang.Exception {
        //String retVal = (String) actionInvocation.getAction();
        Object obj = actionInvocation.getAction();
        System.out.println("############## We hit the interceptor");    
        return actionInvocation.invoke();
    }
    public void init() {
        System.out.println("########### Interceptor is initialized");
    }
	public void destroy() { }
}

Is the interceptor defined in the same package that action "newUserProfile"?

Is the action invoked ?

Did you resolve the problem?

Initially the Interceptor class was not in the same package. I moved it into the same package with the same result. The action is invoked.

They are defined in the same package...here is my struts.xml file. I appreciate you looking into this.

The problem was that I had a duplicate action name. It happened to be the action that I wanted the interceptor on....Thanks for help!

I ended up fixing it myself only because you didn't have time to look at it after I sent the complete struts.xml.
