/**
 * Adapter to use the Servlet interface with the generic DispatcherServlet.
 * Calls the Servlet's <code>service</code> method to handle a request.
 *
 * <p>Last-modified checking is not explicitly supported: This is typically
 * handled by the Servlet implementation itself (usually deriving from
 * the HttpServlet base class).
 *
 * <p>This adapter is not activated by default; it needs to be defined as a
 * bean in the DispatcherServlet context. It will automatically apply to
 * mapped handler beans that implement the Servlet interface then.
 *
 * <p>Note that Servlet instances defined as bean will not receive initialization
 * and destruction callbacks, unless a special post-processor such as
 * SimpleServletPostProcessor is defined in the DispatcherServlet context.
 *
 * <p><b>Alternatively, consider wrapping a Servlet with Spring's
 * ServletWrappingController.</b> This is particularly appropriate for
 * existing Servlet classes, allowing to specify Servlet initialization
 * parameters etc.
