This change enables the ability to configure
ViewNameMethodReturnValueHandler & ModelAndViewMethodReturnValueHandler
with patterns to use to test for a custom redirect view name.

This commit adds support for XML serialization/deserialization based on
the jackson-dataformat-xml extension. When using @EnableWebMvc or
<mvc:annotation-driven/>, Jackson will be used by default instead of JAXB2
if jackson-dataformat-xml classes are found in the classpath.
This commit introduces MappingJackson2XmlHttpMessageConverter and
MappingJackson2XmlView classes, and common parts between JSON
and XML processing have been moved to AbstractJackson2HttpMessageConverter
and AbstractJackson2View classes.
MappingJackson2XmlView supports serialization of a single object. If the model
contains multiple entries, MappingJackson2XmlView.setModelKey() should be
used to specify the entry to serialize.
Pretty print works in XML, but tests are not included since a Woodstox dependency
is needed, and it is better to continue testing spring-web and spring-webmvc
against JAXB2.

Replace references to the old RFC 2616 (HTTP 1.1) with references
to the new RFCs 7230 to 7235.
This commit also deprecates:
- HttpStatus.USE_PROXY
- HttpStatus.REQUEST_ENTITY_TOO_LARGE in favor of HttpStatus.PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE
- HttpStatus.REQUEST_URI_TOO_LONG in favor of HttpStatus.URI_TOO_LONG

This change adds new methods in the ResourceHandlerRegistration API
for registering ResourceResolvers and ResourceTransformers, allowing
to better handle server-side resources in web applications.i
Here is an example of configuration for an HTML5 web application
that uses JavaScript and HTML5 appcache manifests:
registry.addResourceHandler("/**")
.addResourceLocations("classpath:static/")
.addTransformer(new AppCacheManifestTransfomer())
.addVersion("v1", "/**/*.js")
.addVersionHash("/**");

Before this change if Velocity Spring form macro was bound to a path
which contains square brackets, those brackets would also appear in id
of generated tag, making the id invalid.
As of this fix all Velocity Spring form macros generate tag with id
that does not contain square brackets.

This change adds support for configuring redirect view controllers and
also status controllers to the MVC Java config and the MVC namespace.
Issue: SPR-11543
This change makes it possible to configure RedirectView such that the
query string of the current request is added to the target URL.
This change is preparation for SPR-11543.
This change two new capabilities to ParameterizableViewController:
- configure a View instance (in addition to view name)
- configure response status code
The status code may be useful to send a 404 while also writing to the
body using a view.
The status code may also be used to override the redirect status code
of RedirectView. Even today it's possible to configure a "redirect:"
prefixed view name but the status code could not be selected. When a
3xx status is set, the code is passed on to the RedirectView while the
view name is automatically prefixed with "redirect:" (if not already).
For full control over RedirectView it is now also possible to
parameterize the controller with a View instance.
As one more possible resulting variation, given status 204 and no view
the request is considered handled (controller returns null).
This change is preparation for SPR-11543.
Since the MVC Java config always registers a ViewResolver (composite)
bean, at a very minimum we must add an InternalResourceViewResolver
consistent with default DispatcherServlet configuration and by
extension with the MVC namespace which falls back on DispatcherServlet
implicity if no <view-resolvers> element is present.
Issue: SPR-7093
After some further discussion:
The MVC config simplifies ViewResolver configuration especially where
content negotiation view resolution is involved.
The configuration of the underlying view technology however is kept
completely separate. In the case of the MVC namespace, dedicated
top-level freemarker, velocity, and tiles namespace elements are
provided. In the case of the MVC Java config, applications simply
declare FreeMarkerConfigurer, VelocityConfigurer, or TilesConfigurer
beans respectively.
Issue: SPR-7093
Following the separation of FreeMarker/Velocity/TilesConfigurer-related
configuration via separate interface, simplify and streamline the
view registration helper classes which no longer have much difference
(most are UrlBasedViewResolver's).
Updates to Javadoc and tests.
Issue: SPR-7093
This change improves the support for auto-registration of FreeMarker,
Velocity, and Tiles configuration.
The configuration is now conditional not only based on the classpath
but also based on whether a FreeMarkerConfigurer for example is already
present in the configuration.
This change also introduces FreeMarker~, Velocity~, and
TilesWebMvcConfigurer interfaces for customizing each view technology.
The WebMvcConfigurer can still be used to configure all view resolvers
centrally (including FreeMarker, Velocity, and Tiles) without some
default conifguration, i.e. without the need to use the new
~WebMvcConfigurer interfaces until customizations are required.
Issue: SPR-7093
This commit improves and completes the initial MVC namespace
view resolution implementation. ContentNegotiatingViewResolver
registration is now also supported.
Java Config view resolution support has been added.
FreeMarker, Velocity and Tiles view configurers are registered
depending on the classpath thanks to an ImportSelector.
For both, a default configuration is provided and documented.
Issue: SPR-7093
Move spring-webmvc-tiles3 content to spring-webmvc, and
create a spring-webmvc-tiles2 module with Tiles 2 support.
Its allows View Resolution to configure Tiles 3 instead of Tiles 2.
