Today's browsers (or HTML < 5) only support HTTP GET and POST, but to communicate RESTful one need PUT and DELETE too. If the workaround should not be to use Ajax, something like a hidden form field is required to overwrite the actual HTTP method.

Rails uses the following trick:

<input name="_method" type="hidden" value="put" />

Is there a possibility to do something similar with JAX-RS?
