public interface ConditionalCompatibleResource

Resources may implement this, to allow them to decide dynamically whether to support particular HTTP methods. Note that this must not be used for authorisation, use the authorise method on Resource instead. This should only be used to determine whether a resource permits a certain http method regardless of user or application state. Ie is should reflect a configuration choice, and as such be static for the lifetime of the application
