resolveNestedViews

default void resolveNestedViews(ViewResolver resolver,
 Locale locale)
                         throws Exception

In most cases, the DispatcherServlet uses ViewResolvers to resolve View instances. However, a special type of View may actually render a collection of fragments, each with its own model and view.

This callback provides such a view with the opportunity to resolve any nested views it contains prior to rendering.

Parameters:

resolver - to resolve views with

locale - the resolved locale for the request

Throws:

Exception - if any view cannot be resolved, or in case of problems creating an actual View instance
