/**
* Holder for both Model and View in the web MVC framework.
* Note that these are entirely distinct. This class merely holds
* both to make it possible for a controller to return both model
* and view in a single return value.
*
* <p>Represents a model and view returned by a handler, to be resolved
* by a DispatcherServlet. The view can take the form of a String
* view name which will need to be resolved by a ViewResolver object;
* alternatively a View object can be specified directly. The model
* is a Map, allowing the use of multiple objects keyed by name.
