* supports GET, HEAD, POST, PUT and DELETE only. DispatcherServlet will
* process TRACE and OPTIONS with the default HttpServlet behavior unless
* explicitly told to dispatch those request types as well: Check out
* the "dispatchOptionsRequest" and "dispatchTraceRequest" properties,
* switching them to "true" if necessary.
