/**
* Provides support for Model, View and Controller (MVC).
* <p/>
* Given the MVC pattern the Controller corresponds to a resource class, the View to a template referenced by a template name,
* and the Model to a Java object (or a Java bean).
* <p/>
* A resource method of a resource class may return an instance of {@link org.glassfish.jersey.server.mvc.Viewable} that
* encapsulates the template name and the model. In this respect the instance of{@link org.glassfish.jersey.server.mvc.Viewable}
* is the response entity. Such a viewable response entity may be set in contexts other than a resource method but for the
* purposes of this section the focus is on resource methods.
* <p/>
* The {@link org.glassfish.jersey.server.mvc.Viewable}, returned by a resource method,
* will be processed such that the template name is resolved to a template reference that identifies a template capable of
* being processed by an appropriate view processor.
* <br/>
* The view processor then processes template given the model to produce a response entity that is returned to the client.
* <p/>
* For example, the template name could reference a Java Server Page (JSP) and the model will be accessible to that JSP. The
* JSP view processor will process the JSP resulting in an HTML document that is returned as the response entity. (See later
* for more details.)
* <p/>
* Two forms of returning {@link org.glassfish.jersey.server.mvc.Viewable} instances are supported: explicit; and implicit.
