/**
* Wrapper for a JSP or other resource within the same web application.
* Exposes model objects as request attributes and forwards the request to
* the specified resource URL using a {@link javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher}.
*
* <p>A URL for this view is supposed to specify a resource within the web
* application, suitable for RequestDispatcher's <code>forward</code> or
* <code>include</code> method.
*
* <p>If operating within an already included request or within a response that
* has already been committed, this view will fall back to an include instead of
* a forward. This can be enforced by calling <code>response.flushBuffer()</code>
* (which will commit the response) before rendering the view.
*
* <p>Typical usage with {@link InternalResourceViewResolver} looks as follows,
* from the perspective of the DispatcherServlet context definition:
*
* <pre class="code"><bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
* <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/"/>
* <property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
* </bean></pre>
*
* Every view name returned from a handler will be translated to a JSP
* resource (for example: "myView" -> "/WEB-INF/jsp/myView.jsp"), using
* this view class by default.
