ViewResolver (Spring Framework 4.3.30.RELEASE API)

All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractCachingViewResolver, AbstractTemplateViewResolver, BeanNameViewResolver, ContentNegotiatingViewResolver, FreeMarkerViewResolver, GroovyMarkupViewResolver, InternalResourceViewResolver, JasperReportsViewResolver, ResourceBundleViewResolver, ScriptTemplateViewResolver, TilesViewResolver, TilesViewResolver, UrlBasedViewResolver, VelocityLayoutViewResolver, VelocityViewResolver, ViewResolverComposite, 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
  All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
  Modifier and Type Method Description
  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)
