HiddenHttpMethodFilter in Glassfish 3.1.2 - spring

Question

Im trying to process a masqueraded PUT using spring's _metgod hidden attribute, but the request is coming through as a POST even with the HiddenHttpMethodFilter in place. Is there anything else you have to do to enable in in glassfish? Web.xml is below:
<web-app version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd">
<display-name>Jester</display-name>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>
/WEB-INF/jester-persistence.xml
/WEB-INF/jester-service.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>jester</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>jester</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<filter>
<filter-name>filter1</filter-name>

</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>filter1</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
</web-app>

OK I figured out that this is because of the enctype="multipart/form-data" issue ive read so much about. Turns out that sf:form tags resolve to multipart forms so that spring tries to process them with a MultipartResolver. The XML to get around this is below:
<web-app version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd">
<display-name>Jester</display-name>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>

/WEB-INF/jester-service.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>jester</servlet-name>
