Spring 3.0 HEAD Requests

Question

recently we moved to spring 3.0 Controller handling like this:

@Controller
public class MyController {
   @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
   pro         


        

Answer 1

Just add HEAD as a supported method the the request mapping:

@RequestMapping(method = {RequestMethod.GET, RequestMethod.HEAD})

Update: I think you can provide a custom class that extends AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter to be the method handler (in dispatcher-servlet.xml), and just bypass the HEAD support check there. But I'd just use the replace features of an IDE to add it.
