/**
 * Spring Controller implementation that forwards to a named servlet,
 * i.e. the "servlet-name" in web.xml rather than a URL path mapping.
 * A target servlet doesn't even need a "servlet-mapping" in web.xml
 * in the first place: A "servlet" declaration is sufficient.
 *
 * <p>Useful to invoke an existing servlet via Spring's dispatching infrastructure,
 * for example to apply Spring HandlerInterceptors to its requests. This will work
 * even in a minimal Servlet container that does not support Servlet filters.
 *
 * <p><b>Example:</b> web.xml, mapping all "/myservlet" requests to a Spring dispatcher.
 * Also defines a custom "myServlet", but <i>without</i> servlet mapping.
 *
 * <pre class="code">
 * &lt;servlet&gt;
 *   &lt;servlet-name&gt;myServlet&lt;/servlet-name&gt;
 *   &lt;servlet-class&gt;mypackage.TestServlet&lt;/servlet-class&gt;
 * &lt;/servlet&gt;
 *
 * &lt;servlet&gt;
 *   &lt;servlet-name&gt;myDispatcher&lt;/servlet-name&gt;
 *   &lt;servlet-class&gt;org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet&lt;/servlet-class&gt;
 * &lt;/servlet&gt;
 *
 * &lt;servlet-mapping&gt;
 *   &lt;servlet-name&gt;myDispatcher&lt;/servlet-name&gt;
 *   &lt;url-pattern&gt;/myservlet&lt;/url-pattern&gt;
 * &lt;/servlet-mapping&gt;</pre>
 *
 * <b>Example:</b> myDispatcher-servlet.xml, in turn forwarding "/myservlet" to your
 * servlet (identified by servlet name). All such requests will go through the
 * configured HandlerInterceptor chain (e.g. an OpenSessionInViewInterceptor).
 * From the servlet point of view, everything will work as usual.
 *
 * <pre class="code">
 * &lt;bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping"&gt;
 *   &lt;property name="interceptors"&gt;
 *     &lt;list&gt;
 *       &lt;ref bean="openSessionInViewInterceptor"/&gt;
 *     &lt;/list&gt;
 *   &lt;/property&gt;
 *   &lt;property name="mappings"&gt;
 *     &lt;props&gt;
 *       &lt;prop key="/myservlet"&gt;myServletForwardingController&lt;/prop&gt;
 *     &lt;/props&gt;
 *   &lt;/property&gt;
 * &lt;/bean&gt;
 *
 * &lt;bean id="myServletForwardingController" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.ServletForwardingController"&gt;
 *   &lt;property name="servletName"&gt;&lt;value&gt;myServlet&lt;/value&gt;&lt;/property&gt;
 * &lt;/bean&gt;</pre>
