/**
* Provides support for Model, View and Controller (MVC).
*
* Given the MVC pattern the Controller corresponds to a resource class,
* the View to a template referenced by a template name, and the Model
* to a Java object (or a Java bean).
*
* A resource method of a resource class may return an instance of
* {@link com.sun.jersey.api.view.Viewable} that encapsulates the template name
* and the model. In this respect the instance of
* {@link com.sun.jersey.api.view.Viewable} is the response entity. Such a
* viewable response entity may be set in contexts other than a resource
* method but for the purposes of this section the focus is on resource methods.
*
* The {@link com.sun.jersey.api.view.Viewable}, returned by a resource method,
* will be processed such that the template name is resolved to a template
* reference that identifies a template capable of being processed by an
* appropriate view processor.
*
* The view processor then processes template given the model to produce a
* response entity that is returned to the client.
*
* For example, the template name could reference a Java Server Page (JSP) and
* the model will be accessible to that JSP. The JSP view processor will
* process the JSP resulting in an HTML document that is returned
* as the response entity. (See later for more details.)
*
* Two forms of returning {@link com.sun.jersey.api.view.Viewable} instances
* are supported: explicit; and implicit.
*
*
Explicit views

* Implicit views
*
* Integration with Java Server Pages (JSPs)
*
* Developing a View Processor
