 * by the implementation. And, processing the template, identified by template
 * reference and media type, the results of which are written to an output stream.
 * 

 * Implementations can register a view processor as a provider, for
 * example, annotating the implementation class with {@link javax.ws.rs.ext.Provider}
 * or registering an implementing class or instance as a singleton with
 * {@link org.glassfish.jersey.server.ResourceConfig} or {@link javax.ws.rs.core.Application}.
 * 
 * Such view processors could be JSP view processors (supported by the
 * Jersey servlet and filter implementations) or say Freemarker or Velocity
 * view processors (not implemented).
