/**
 * Simple <code>Controller implementation that transforms the virtual
 * path of a URL into a view name and returns that view.
 * 
 * <p>Can optionally prepend a {@link #setPrefix prefix} and/or append a
 * {@link #setSuffix suffix} to build the viewname from the URL filename.
 *
 * <p>Find below some examples:
 *
 * <ol>
 *   <li>"/index" -> "index"
 *   <li>"/index.html" -> "index"
 *   <li>"/index.html" + prefix "pre_" and suffix "_suf" -> "pre_index_suf"
 *   <li>"/products/view.html" -> "products/view"
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>Thanks to David Barri for suggesting prefix/suffix support!
