/**
* Simple implementation of the {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.ViewResolver}
* interface, allowing for direct resolution of symbolic view names to URLs,
* without explicit mapping definition. This is useful if your symbolic names
* match the names of your view resources in a straightforward manner
* (i.e. the symbolic name is the unique part of the resource's filename),
* without the need for a dedicated mapping to be defined for each view.
*
* <p>Supports {@link AbstractUrlBasedView} subclasses like {@link InternalResourceView},
* {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityView} and
* {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.view.freemarker.FreeMarkerView}.
* The view class for all views generated by this resolver can be specified
* via the "viewClass" property.
*
* <p>View names can either be resource URLs themselves, or get augmented by a
* specified prefix and/or suffix. Exporting an attribute that holds the
* RequestContext to all views is explicitly supported.
*
* <p>Example: prefix="/WEB-INF/jsp/", suffix=".jsp", viewname="test" ->
* "/WEB-INF/jsp/test.jsp"
*
* <p>As a special feature, redirect URLs can be specified via the "redirect:"
* prefix. E.g.: "redirect:myAction.do" will trigger a redirect to the given
* URL, rather than resolution as standard view name. This is typically used
* for redirecting to a controller URL after finishing a form workflow.
*
* <p>Furthermore, forward URLs can be specified via the "forward:" prefix. E.g.:
* "forward:myAction.do" will trigger a forward to the given URL, rather than
* resolution as standard view name. This is typically used for controller URLs;
* it is not supposed to be used for JSP URLs - use logical view names there.
*
* <p>Note: This class does not support localized resolution, i.e. resolving
* a symbolic view name to different resources depending on the current locale.
*
* <p>Note: When chaining ViewResolvers, a UrlBasedViewResolver always needs
* to be last, as it will attempt to resolve any view name, no matter whether
* the underlying resource actually exists.
