Any HTTP method passed to the spring-form:form tag other then GET or POST will automatically be defaulted to POST on the form tag and a hidden input field is created with the requested HTTP method. By default, the hidden field is named '_method', the name can be overridden using the methodParam attribute on the spring-form:form tag.
Created spring:url and spring:param tags that enhance the functionality of the JSTL c:url tag. URI templates are supported in the url value attribute. They are resolved against the params defined inside the url tag body. Params that are unable to be applied as URI template are added to the query string.
