Add setStripTrailingSlash to DefaultRequestToViewNameTranslator [SPR-6830]

[spring-projects-issues]

Triqui Galletas opened SPR-6830 and commented

I think it would be nice to be able to remove trailing slash when translating requests to views. In my case I've been forced to subclass DefaultRequestToViewNameTranslator to do it.

I've added this for 3.0.1 already now, with stripTrailingSlash=true by default since it fits well with the other default stripping rules.

Good. I thought defaulting to true was the best option, too.

Just one little thing, if you are a perfectionist. Maybe you want to update the comments on the class, since it mentions stripping leading slash and file extension, but not the new one.

Interestingly, the comment on the transformPath method already included stripping trailing slash implicitly:
"Transform the request URI (in the context of the webapp) stripping slashes and extensions, and replacing the separator as required."
