A simple implementation of ViewResolver that interprets a view name as a bean name in the current application context, i.e. typically in the XML file of the executing DispatcherServlet or in a corresponding configuration class.

Note: This ViewResolver implements the Ordered interface in order to allow for flexible participation in ViewResolver chaining. For example, some special views could be defined via this ViewResolver (giving it 0 as "order" value), while all remaining views could be resolved by a UrlBasedViewResolver.

Specify the order value for this ViewResolver bean.

The default value is Ordered.LOWEST_PRECEDENCE, meaning non-ordered.
