But then you limit usage of it only to the Convention plugin based
applications. Even with extending DTD and adding `httpMethod` to `<action/>`
you will have limitations of using this to whole set of actions, eg. `<action
name="empoyee-*" httpMethod="get">` - all actions can be called via GET only.
Another problem is the REST plugin and its default behaviour
(`/orders/1/edit` -> `edit()`) - you will have to annotated each method with
`@Action` - instead, with current approach, you can annotate the whole
Controller class with `@GetOnly` and add few exceptions on methods (check
`OrdersController` in `rest-showcase`)
This approach is far more flexible then extending `@Action` annotation -
you can precisely set limitations where you want without changing existing
behaviour (`@Action` can override far more settings than just allowed http
method)
