/**
 * Central dispatcher for HTTP request handlers/controllers, e.g. for web UI controllers or HTTP-based remote service
 * exporters. Dispatches to registered handlers for processing a web request, providing convenient mapping and exception
 * handling facilities.
 *
 * <p>This servlet is very flexible: It can be used with just about any workflow, with the installation of the
 * appropriate adapter classes. It offers the following functionality that distinguishes it from other request-driven
 * web MVC frameworks:
 *
 * <ul> <li>It is based around a JavaBeans configuration mechanism.
 *
 * <li>It can use any {@link HandlerMapping} implementation - pre-built or provided as part of an application - to
 * control the routing of requests to handler objects. Default is {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping}
 * and {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping}. HandlerMapping objects
 * can be defined as beans in the servlet's application context, implementing the HandlerMapping interface, overriding
 * the default HandlerMapping if present. HandlerMappings can be given any bean name (they are tested by type).
 *
 * <li>It can use any {@link HandlerAdapter}; this allows for using any handler interface. Default adapters are {@link
 * org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.HttpRequestHandlerAdapter}, {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter},
 * for Spring's {@link org.springframework.web.HttpRequestHandler} and {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.Controller}
 * interfaces, respectively. A default {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter}
 * will be registered as well. HandlerAdapter objects can be added as beans in the application context, overriding the
 * default HandlerAdapters. Like HandlerMappings, HandlerAdapters can be given any bean name (they are tested by type).
 *
 * <li>The dispatcher's exception resolution strategy can be specified via a {@link HandlerExceptionResolver}, for
 * example mapping certain exceptions to error pages. Default are
 * {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerExceptionResolver},
 * {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.ResponseStatusExceptionResolver}, and
 * {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.DefaultHandlerExceptionResolver}. These HandlerExceptionResolvers can be overridden
 * through the application context. HandlerExceptionResolver can be given any bean name (they are tested by type).
 *
 * <li>Its view resolution strategy can be specified via a {@link ViewResolver} implementation, resolving symbolic view
 * names into View objects. Default is {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver}.
 * ViewResolver objects can be added as beans in the application context, overriding the default ViewResolver.
 * ViewResolvers can be given any bean name (they are tested by type).
 *
 * <li>If a {@link View} or view name is not supplied by the user, then the configured {@link
 * RequestToViewNameTranslator} will translate the current request into a view name. The corresponding bean name is
 * "viewNameTranslator"; the default is {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.view.DefaultRequestToViewNameTranslator}.
 *
 * <li>The dispatcher's strategy for resolving multipart requests is determined by a {@link
 * org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartResolver} implementation. Implementations for Jakarta Commons FileUpload
 * and Jason Hunter's COS are included; the typical choise is {@link org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver}.
 * The MultipartResolver bean name is "multipartResolver"; default is none.
 *
 * <li>Its locale resolution strategy is determined by a {@link LocaleResolver}. Out-of-the-box implementations work via
 * HTTP accept header, cookie, or session. The LocaleResolver bean name is "localeResolver"; default is {@link
 * org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.AcceptHeaderLocaleResolver}.
 *
 * <li>Its theme resolution strategy is determined by a {@link ThemeResolver}. Implementations for a fixed theme and for
 * cookie and session storage are included. The ThemeResolver bean name is "themeResolver"; default is {@link
 * org.springframework.web.servlet.theme.FixedThemeResolver}. </ul>
 *
 * <p><b>NOTE: The <code>@RequestMapping</code> annotation will only be processed if a corresponding
 * <code>HandlerMapping</code> (for type level annotations) and/or <code>HandlerAdapter</code> (for method level
 * annotations) is present in the dispatcher.</b> This is the case by default. However, if you are defining custom
 * <code>HandlerMappings</code> or <code>HandlerAdapters</code>, then you need to make sure that a corresponding custom
 * <code>DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping</code> and/or <code>AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter</code> is defined as well -
 * provided that you intend to use <code>@RequestMapping</code>.
 *
 * <p><b>A web application can define any number of DispatcherServlets.</b> Each servlet will operate in its own
 * namespace, loading its own application context with mappings, handlers, etc. Only the root application context as
 * loaded by {@link org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener}, if any, will be shared.
