* Convenience subclass of UrlBasedViewResolver that supports FreeMarkerView

* <p>The view class for all views generated by this resolver can be specified
* via <code>setViewClass</code>. See UrlBasedViewResolver's javadoc for details.
*
* <p><b>Note:</b> When chaining ViewResolvers, a FreeMarkerViewResolver always
* needs to be last, as it will attempt to resolve any view name, no matter
* whether the underlying resource actually exists.
