/**
 * ViewRendererServlet is a bridge servlet, mainly for the Portlet MVC support.
 *
 * <p>For usage with Portlets, this Servlet is necessary to force the portlet container
 * to convert the PortletRequest to a ServletRequest, which it has to do when
 * including a resource via the PortletRequestDispatcher. This allows for reuse
 * of the entire Servlet-based View support even in a Portlet environment.
 *
 * <p>The actual mapping of the bridge servlet is configurable in the DispatcherPortlet,
 * via a "viewRendererUrl" property. The default is "/WEB-INF/servlet/view", which is
 * just available for internal resource dispatching.
