SpringMVC is not recognizing request body parameters if using PUT

I don't know of a work around at this point, but here is the bug report that is a "Won't Fix." I've been fighting the same issue

https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SPR-7414

Update: Here is my fix. I'm using RequestBody annotation. Then using MultiValueMap.

http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.5.RELEASE/reference/mvc.html#mvc-ann-requestbody

@RequestMapping(value = "/{tc}", method = RequestMethod.PUT) 
public void update(@PathVariable("tc") final String tc, 
@RequestBody MultiValueMap body, HttpServletResponse response) {

    String name = body.getFirst("name");
// more code
}
