public class UrlBasedViewResolver

extends AbstractCachingViewResolver

Simple implementation of ViewResolver that allows for direct resolution of symbolic view names to URLs, without explicit mapping definition. This is appropriate if your symbolic names match the names of your view resources in a straightforward manner, without the need for arbitrary mappings.

Supports AbstractUrlBasedView subclasses like InternalResourceView and VelocityView. The view class for all views generated by this resolver can be specified via setViewClass.

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.

Example: prefix="/WEB-INF/jsp/", suffix=".jsp", viewname="test" -> "/WEB-INF/jsp/test.jsp"

Note: This class does not support localized resolution, i.e. resolving a symbolic view name to different resources depending on the current locale.
