Maybe provide an option to add a template that is already a resolved View?

[dsyer]

What do you think about that idea? It would be useful for some of the reflection-free templating options that are becoming popular (JStachio, Rocker, JTE), and provides flexibility if the controller method already knows how to resolve a view. The implementation wouldn't need to change any public APIs, but the internals of how the templates are stored (e.g. use Object instead of String or introduce a new wrapper object, a bit like ModelAndView). ModelAndView might not be a bad choice even - each template might conceivably have its own model, and merge with the request-level model at rendering time.

I am open to making this library useful to other templating engines. Feel free to create a PR with a proposal how to tackle this.

[dsyer]

See #55 for an implementation. I suppose this should probably lead to splitting the thymeleaf-specific parts into their own library, but we can tackle that separately.

PR is now merged and will be included in the upcoming 2.2.0
