Since JSP 2.3 (Tomcat 8) only supported method for JSP is GET POST or HEAD:
https://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/maintenance/jsr245/245-MR3.html http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/trunk/java/org/apache/jasper/servlet/JspServlet.java?view=diff&r1=1497877&r2=1497878&pathrev=1497878
But, I suppose, it is a big incompatible change as, for example, for exception handler it is used to forward to JSP for rendering exception and iso JSP view since JSP 2.3 response is:
Method Not Allowed
HTTP Status 405 - JSPs only permit GET POST or HEAD
description The specified HTTP method is not allowed for the requested resource.
Apache Tomcat/8.0.3
If we use REST and Spring HandlerExceptionResolver in case of exception we bump into this problem for sure. Are there any workaround for this problem (iso change http method type)?
