Consider the below controller; the goal is to map multiple methods, accessible via POST only, using the naming scheme from InternalPathMethodNameResolver. This does not work because:

1) The naming scheme from InternalPathMethodNameResolver is only invoked is the @RequestParam is empty (no value, method, or parameters);
2) The request method cannot be specified at the type level (explicitly prohibited by DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping)

Our use case for this is converting several legacy Servlets that do an if/else match on the URL in doPost() - it would be trivial to convert these if the POST could be combined with the InternalPathMethodNameResolver (ideally the POST could be defaulted at the type level).

@Controller
    @RequestMapping("/foo/*.do")
    public static class MultiMethodController
    {
        @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
        public void withWriter( Writer w )
        {
            System.out.println( "writWriter invoked" );
        }

        @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
        public void withWriter2( Writer w )
        {
            System.out.println( "writWriter2 invoked" );
        }
    }
