Interface ViewResolver

All Known Implementing Classes:
  AbstractCachingViewResolver, AbstractTemplateViewResolver, BeanNameViewResolver, FreeMarkerViewResolver, InternalResourceViewResolver, JasperReportsViewResolver, ResourceBundleViewResolver, UrlBasedViewResolver, VelocityLayoutViewResolver, VelocityViewResolver, XmlViewResolver, XsltViewResolver

    public interface ViewResolver

Interface to be implemented by objects that can resolve views by name.

View state doesn't change during the running of the application, so implementations are free to cache views.

Implementations are encouraged to support internationalization, i.e. localized view resolution.

Method Summary
`View` | `resolveViewName(String viewName, Locale locale)` Resolve the given view by name.

Method Detail

### resolveViewName

    View resolveViewName(String viewName,
                         Locale locale)
                         throws Exception

  Resolve the given view by name.

  Note: To allow for ViewResolver chaining, a ViewResolver should return `null` if a view with the given name is not defined in it. However, this is not required: Some ViewResolvers will always attempt to build View objects with the given name, unable to return `null` (rather throwing an exception when View creation failed).

  Parameters:
    `viewName` - name of the view to resolve
    `locale` - Locale in which to resolve the view. ViewResolvers that support internationalization should respect this.
  Returns:
    the View object, or `null` if not found (optional, to allow for ViewResolver chaining)
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if the view cannot be resolved (typically in case of problems creating an actual View object)
