/**
* Adapter to use the Servlet interface with the generic DispatcherServlet.
* Calls the Servlet's <code>service</code> method to handle a request.
*
* <p>Last-modified checking is not explicitly supported: This is typically
* handled by the Servlet implementation itself (usually deriving from
* the HttpServlet base class).
*
* <p>This adapter is not activated by default; it needs to be defined as a
* bean in the DispatcherServlet context. It will automatically apply to
* mapped handler beans that implement the Servlet interface then.
*
* <p>Note that Servlet instances defined as bean will not receive initialization
* and destruction callbacks, unless a special post-processor such as
* SimpleServletPostProcessor is defined in the DispatcherServlet context.
*
* <p><b>Alternatively, consider wrapping a Servlet with Spring's
* ServletWrappingController.</b> This is particularly appropriate for
* existing Servlet classes, allowing to specify Servlet initialization
* parameters etc.
