No there ain't any POST/PUT only GET operations. The resource class is
http://github.com/imyousuf/smart-util/blob/rest-util/rest/atom/src/test/java/com/smartitengineering/util/rest/atom/resources/SomeDomainResource.java

The resource uses Abdera Feed to deserialize Atom Feed.

The DTO that is serialized as JSON.
http://github.com/imyousuf/smart-util/blob/rest-util/rest/atom/src/test/java/com/smartitengineering/util/rest/atom/resources/domain/SomeDomain.java

The test case that starts Jetty programmatically and makes GET requests only -
http://github.com/imyousuf/smart-util/blob/rest-util/rest/atom/src/test/java/com/smartitengineering/util/rest/atom/AppTest.java

I knew about the bug from earlier google in context to PUT/POST, but
this problem was quite strange to me.

Thank you,
