 * Sling default POST servlet to handle specific operations.
 * <p>
 * The <code>SlingPostOperation</code> service must be registered with a
 * {@link #PROP_OPERATION_NAME} registration property giving the name(s) of the
 * operations supported by the service. The names will be used to find the
 * actual operation from the {@link SlingPostConstants#RP_OPERATION
 * <code>:operation</code>} request parameter.

 * The Sling default POST servlet defines the <code>copy</code>,
 * <code>move</code> and <code>delete</code> operation names. These names should
 * not be used by <code>SlingPostOperation</code> service providers.

 * @deprecated as of 2.0.8 (Bundle version 2.2.0) and replaced by
