+ * <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="templates/", suffix=".ftl", viewname="test" ->
+ * "templates/test.ftl"
+ *
+ * <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.
