/**
 * Simple implementation of the {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.ViewResolver}
 * interface, allowing for direct resolution of symbolic view names to URLs,
 * without explicit mapping definitions. 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}
 * 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" 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" 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><b>Note:</b> When chaining ViewResolvers, a UrlBasedViewResolver will check whether
 * the {@linkplain AbstractUrlBasedView#checkResource specified resource actually exists}.
 * However, with {@link InternalResourceView}, it is not generally possible to
 * determine the existence of the target resource upfront. In such a scenario,
 * a UrlBasedViewResolver will always return a View for any given view name;
 * as a consequence, it should be configured as the last ViewResolver in the chain.
