Abstract base class for Controllers that return a view name based on the request URL.

Provides infrastructure for determining view names from URLs and configurable URL lookup. For information on the latter, see alwaysUseFullPath and urlDecode properties.

Uses either the request encoding or the default encoding according to the Servlet spec (ISO-8859-1).
