    public class UrlFilenameViewController

extends AbstractUrlViewController

Simple `Controller` implementation that transforms the virtual path of a URL into a view name and returns that view.

Can optionally prepend a `prefix` and/or append a `suffix` to build the viewname from the URL filename.

Find below some examples:

1. `"/index" -> "index"`
2. `"/index.html" -> "index"`
3. `"/index.html"` + prefix `"pre_"` and suffix `"_suf" -> "pre_index_suf"`
4. `"/products/view.html" -> "products/view"`

Thanks to David Barri for suggesting prefix/suffix support!

  Parameters:
    `request` - current HTTP request
  Returns:
    a view name for this request (never `null`)
  See Also:
    `extractViewNameFromUrlPath(java.lang.String)`, `setPrefix(java.lang.String)`, `setSuffix(java.lang.String)`

### extractOperableUrl

    protected String extractOperableUrl(HttpServletRequest request)

  Extract a URL path from the given request, suitable for view name extraction.

  Parameters:
    `request` - current HTTP request
  Returns:
    the URL to use for view name extraction

### getViewNameForUrlPath

    protected String getViewNameForUrlPath(String uri)

  Returns view name based on the URL filename, with prefix/suffix applied when appropriate.

  Parameters:
    `uri` - the request URI; for example `"/index.html"`
  Returns:
    the extracted URI filename; for example `"index"`
