title: Java - HttpServlet Patch method
body: <p>I'm implementing a REST Api using basic Servlets in Java and I can't seem to find a <code>doPatch()</code> method.</p>
  
  <p>Why does <a href="https://javaee.github.io/javaee-spec/javadocs/javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet.html" rel="noreferrer"><code>HttpServlet</code></a> not implement a <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_verb" rel="noreferrer"><code>PATCH</code></a> method? I'd like to use it 'cause it is more meaningful for resources update.</p>
