This commit adds support for script based templating. Any templating
library running on top of a JSR-223 ScriptEngine that implements
Invocable like Nashorn or JRuby could be used.
For example, in order to render Mustache templates thanks to the Nashorn
Javascript engine provided with Java 8+, you should declare the following
configuration:
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class MustacheConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
@Override
public void configureViewResolvers(ViewResolverRegistry registry) {
registry.scriptTemplate();
}
@Bean
public ScriptTemplateConfigurer configurer() {
ScriptTemplateConfigurer configurer = new ScriptTemplateConfigurer();
configurer.setEngineName("nashorn");
configurer.setScripts("mustache.js");
configurer.setRenderObject("Mustache");
configurer.setRenderFunction("render");
return configurer;
}
}
The XML counterpart is:
<beans>
<mvc:annotation-driven />
<mvc:view-resolvers>
<mvc:script-template />
</mvc:view-resolvers>
<mvc:script-template-configurer engine-name="nashorn" render-object="Mustache" render-function="render">
<mvc:script location="mustache.js" />
</mvc:script-template-configurer>
</beans>
Tested with:
- Handlebars running on Nashorn
- Mustache running on Nashorn
- React running on Nashorn
- EJS running on Nashorn
- ERB running on JRuby
- String templates running on Jython

The use of RedirectAttributes was documented in four places in the
reference documentation. This commit merges some of the places and links
properly between them.

The upgrade to a more recent asciidoc format led to a bunch of of
broken Admonition as the text block now requires four equal signs while
previous versions tolerated only 3.

Core and Web chapters are important chapters in the Spring Framework
reference documentation, and splitting them in multiple files will
help to evolve the documentation while not creating too many files.
Issue: SPR-12309
The reference documentation is now organized in asciidoc bookparts.
Bookparts sections can be also put in separate files, when their
size and theme are important enough to justify that.
