Method to check which HTTP methods are allowed using OPTIONS.
Default implementation for POST and PUT if client sends request header "expect: 100-continue".
Verification of action returns to allow String, HttpHeaders, Result or null.
The default method "index" in "RestActionSupport" return Object instead String in order to allow for HttpHeaders or Result to be returned.
Result processing is delayed after all interceptors have finished.
New configuration parameter to show the processing time via log4j. Will show action processing time plus interceptors and result processing time (JSP, XML, ...).
The new flow of result processing is:
The content is selected (model, exception or errors list)
Use HttpHeaders to apply the headers, etc.
If the result code is 304 the result is not processed.
If the result is a HttpHeaderResult, it is executed regardless of representation.
The result is always returned according to the requested representation.
If there are errors, it will look for a result named "default-error" to be able to configure the error page. It could be configured in the web.xml but the request representation would not be respected.
