The current build depends on a version of Spring MVC that doesn't support PATCH. Update the pom.xml to depend on latest spring-web 3.x release and add tests to demonstrate support (as well as related tests to verify support for other methods using both Spring MVC and JAX-RS annotations). Note JAX-RS does not natively support annotations for PATCH, as such it is not in scope for this issue.
