    The following section of the Servlet specification describes how to cover and uncover HTTP methods: 13.8 Specifying Security Constraints.
    You could also perform the samething using Annotations, for example see the following section of the Servlet specification: 13.4 Programmatic Security Policy Configuration.
    Are you requesting some sort of functionality outside of the already existing spec defined functionality?
