> I am having troubles handling wrong method calls. When calling a resource with an inappropriate method (e.g. POST instead of GET), wink identifies the resource doesn't support the requested method, and generates a WebApplicationException with status code 405. (so far so good :-) )
> For some reason the http error code 405 is not part of the Status class (enum), so calling valueOf doesn't generate the appropriate Status object instance. I guess that's not a wink issue, as it is not part of the javax.ws.rs spec either.
>  The HTP spec says that when returning 405 error, the server also MUST set the Allow header. 
> http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.6
> But the problem is setting the Allow header, when I handle the exception in my custom ExceptionMapper class, and the exception has 405 status, I can't easily tell what are the allowed methods for the requested resource.
