SpringMVC is not recognizing request body parameters if using PUT

Question

Maybe this is supposed to not work, but at least I\'d like to understand why then. I am passing a simple val=somevalue in the PUT body but spring sends back a <

I don't have right solution for you, but in your case I try following:

• create page with form:form method="PUT"
• declare HiddenHttpMethodFilter in web.xml

If this will works, then

• change type from PUT to POST in ajax call
• add needed params which client has with form:form tag (something like _method)

In other words, as I understand Spring emulates PUT based on simple POST with special parameter. Just send to him what he wants.
