HiddenHttpMethodFilter（源码分析）进行请求过滤，实现Rest风格的url

浏览器form表单只支持GET与POST请求，而DELETE、PUT等method并不支持，spring3.0添加了一个过滤器，可以将这些请求转换为标准的http方法，使得支持GET、POST、PUT与DELETE请求，该过滤器为HiddenHttpMethodFilter。

        HiddenHttpMethodFilter的父类是OncePerRequestFilter，它继承了父类的doFilterInternal方法，工作原理是将jsp页面的form表单的_method属性值在doFilterInternal方法中转化为标准的Http方法，只能支持PUT、DELETE、TRACE，然后到Controller中找到对应的方法。

    <form action="..." method="post">
            <input type="hidden" name="_method" value="put" />
            ......
    </form>

Rest 风格的 URL以 CRUD 为例: 
 新增: /order POST 
 修改: /order/1 PUT
 获取:/order/1 GET 
 删除: /order/1 DELETE 

注意：idea根据类名查询（eclips风格快捷键）Crtl + Shift +R

以下是源码分析

/**
 * {@link javax.servlet.Filter} that converts posted method parameters into HTTP methods,
 * retrievable via {@link HttpServletRequest#getMethod()}. Since browsers currently only
 * support GET and POST, a common technique - used by the Prototype library, for instance -
 * is to use a normal POST with an additional hidden form field ({@code _method})
 * to pass the "real" HTTP method along. This filter reads that parameter and changes
 * the {@link HttpServletRequestWrapper#getMethod()} return value accordingly.
 * Only {@code "PUT"}, {@code "DELETE"} and {@code "PATCH"} HTTP methods are allowed.
 *
 * <p>The name of the request parameter defaults to {@code _method}, but can be
 * adapted via the {@link #setMethodParam(String) methodParam} property.
 *
 * <p><b>NOTE: This filter needs to run after multipart processing in case of a multipart
 * POST request, due to its inherent need for checking a POST body parameter.</b>
 * So typically, put a Spring {@link org.springframework.web.multipart.support.MultipartFilter}
 * <i>before</i> this HiddenHttpMethodFilter in your {@code web.xml} filter chain.
