/**
 * Specialization of {@link InternalResourceView} for JSTL pages,
 * i.e. JSP pages that use the JSP Standard Tag Library.
 *
 * <p>Exposes JSTL-specific request attributes specifying locale
 * and resource bundle for JSTL's formatting and message tags,
 * using Spring's locale and {@link org.springframework.context.MessageSource}.
 *
 * <p>Typical usage with {@link InternalResourceViewResolver} would look as follows,
 * from the perspective of the DispatcherServlet context definition:
 *
 * <pre class="code">
 * &lt;bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver"&gt;
 *   &lt;property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/&gt;
 *   &lt;property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/"/&gt;
 *   &lt;property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/&gt;
 * &lt;/bean&gt;
 *
 * &lt;bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource"&gt;
 *   &lt;property name="basename" value="messages"/&gt;
 * &lt;/bean&gt;</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 to enable explicit JSTL support.
 *
 * <p>The specified MessageSource loads messages from "messages.properties" etc
 * files in the class path. This will automatically be exposed to views as
 * JSTL localization context, which the JSTL fmt tags (message etc) will use.
 * Consider using Spring's ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource instead of
 * the standard ResourceBundleMessageSource for more sophistication.
 * Of course, any other Spring components can share the same MessageSource.
 *
 * <p>This is a separate class mainly to avoid JSTL dependencies in
 * {@link InternalResourceView} itself. JSTL has not been part of standard
 * J2EE up until J2EE 1.4, so we can't assume the JSTL API jar to be
 * available on the class path.
 *
 * <p>Hint: Set the {@link #setExposeContextBeansAsAttributes} flag to "true"
 * in order to make all Spring beans in the application context accessible
 * within JSTL expressions (e.g. in a <code>c:out</code> value expression).
 * This will also make all such beans accessible in plain <code>${...}</code>
 * expressions in a JSP 2.0 page.
