 * A viewable type referencing a template by name and a model to be passed

 * <p/>
 * The template name may be declared as absolute template name if the name
 * begins with a '/', otherwise the template name is declared as a relative
 * template name. If the template name is relative then the class of the

 * the responsibility of resolving the absolute template name is up to
 * {@link org.glassfish.jersey.server.mvc.spi.ViewableContext} which can override the
 * default resolving behaviour.
