Problems with struts2 interceptor

Question

I'm running into trouble making an interceptor blocking a user acessing any jsp by verifying that a boolean variable is true or false; that variable is in a bean (heyBean), that is previusly set with an action method in a session (the action implements session aware). If true, the user can proceed with the action; if not, the user is redirected to the login page. Obviously, login page must NOT be protected by this interceptor. The problem is, the interceptor is not being called when I call a protected action before logging in.

Here is my heyBean:

package hey.model;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.rmi.Naming;
import java.rmi.NotBoundException;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import rmiserver.RMIServerInterface;

public class HeyBean {
    private RMIServerInterface server;
    private String username; // username and password supplied by the user
    private String password;
    private boolean isAuthenticated;

    public HeyBean() {
        try {
            server = (RMIServerInterface) Naming.lookup("server");
        } catch(NotBoundException|MalformedURLException|RemoteException e) {
            e.printStackTrace(); // what happens *after* we reach this line?
        }
    }

    public String getUsername() {
        return this.username;
    }

    public void setUsername(String username) {
        this.username = username;
    }

    public String getPassword() {
        return this.password;
    }

    public void setPassword(String password) {
        this.password = password;
    }

    public boolean isIsAuthenticated() {
            return isAuthenticated;
    }

    public void setIsAuthenticated(boolean isAuthenticated) {
            this.isAuthenticated = isAuthenticated;
    }

    public boolean getUserMatchesPassword() throws RemoteException {
        return server.userMatchesPassword(this.username, this.password);
    }

    public ArrayList<String> getAllUsers() throws RemoteException {
        return server.getAllUsers(); // are you going to throw all exceptions?
    }

    public void sayHey(String whoSaidHey, String toWhoSaidHey) throws RemoteException {
        server.markAsHeyed(whoSaidHey, toWhoSaidHey);
    }

    public ArrayList<String> getAllWhoSaidHey() throws RemoteException {
        return server.getAllWhoSaidHey(); // are you going to throw all exceptions?
    }
}

Here is my interceptor:

package hey.interceptor;

import java.util.Map;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.Action;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionInvocation;
import com.opensymphony.xwork2.interceptor.Interceptor;
import hey.model.HeyBean;

public class LoginInterceptor implements Interceptor {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 189237412378L;

    @Override
    public String intercept(ActionInvocation invocation) throws Exception {
        Map<String, Object> session = invocation.getInvocationContext().getSession();

        // this method intercepts the execution of the action and we get access
        // to the session, to the action, and to the context of this invocation
        HeyBean hB = (HeyBean) session.get("heyBean");
        if(hB != null && hB.isIsAuthenticated()) {
            System.out.println("PASSOU!");
            return invocation.invoke();
        }
        else {
            System.out.println("NAO PASSOU!");
            return Action.LOGIN; 
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void init() { }

    @Override
    public void destroy() { }
}

Here is my struts.xml:

I've just solved it! It turns out I was doing a getHeyBean() in the action code, what would construct a new instance of HeyBean if it didn't previously existed. My bad :(. Thank you all for your cooperation.
