Specialization of InternalResourceView for JSTL pages,
i.e. JSP pages that use the JSP Standard Tag Library.
Exposes JSTL-specific request attributes specifying locale
and resource bundle for JSTL's formatting and message tags,
using Spring's locale and message source.
Typical usage with InternalResourceViewResolver would look as follows,
from the perspective of the DispatcherServlet context definition:
<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/>
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/"/>
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
</bean>
<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename" value="messages"/>
</bean>
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.
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.
This is a separate class mainly to avoid JSTL dependencies in
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.
