Struts2 how to override the global interceptor stack for an action

Question

<interceptor-stack name="DefaultTEST">
    <interceptor-ref name="exception" />
    <!-- some more interceptors go in here -->
    <interceptor-ref name="debugging" />
</interceptor-stack>

<default-interceptor-ref name="DefaultTEST" />

<action name="welcome">
    <result type="tiles">WELCOME_PAGE</result>
</action>

<action name="">
    <result ...>...</result>
</action>

... <!-- more actions -->

So my question is how to override the default interceptor stack so that for welcome action some other interceptors (or interceptor stack) can be loaded while the default one is not.

Define other stack and use it in action configuration. What is the problem? — Aleksandr M, Oct 12 '16 at 18:57
@AleksandrM If I specify another stack for that particular action, in addition to the stack, the default stack will also be triggered? — user6332430, Oct 12 '16 at 19:01

You can override the interceptors config if you reference an interceptor or interceptors stack in the action config explicitly.

<action name="welcome">
    <interceptor-ref name="defaultStack" />
    <result type="tiles">WELCOME_PAGE</result>
</action>

Only defaultStack will be executed for welcome action. Other actions that don't override the interceptors config in this package will use DefaultTEST because it's configured as default.
