/**
 * VelocityView subclass which adds support for Velocity Tools toolboxes
 * and Velocity Tools' ViewTool callbacks.
 *
 * <p>Specify a "toolboxConfigLocation", for example "/WEB-INF/toolbox.xml",
 * to automatically load a Velocity Tools toolbox definition file and expose
 * all defined tools in the specified scopes. If no config location is
 * specified, no toolbox will be loaded and exposed.
 *
 * <p>This view will always create a special Velocity context, namely an
 * instance of the ChainedContext class which is part of the view package
 * of Velocity tools. This allows to use tools from the view package of
 * Velocity Tools, like LinkTool, which need to be initialized with a special
 * context that implements the ViewContext interface (that is, ChainedContext).
 *
 * <p>This view also checks tools that are specified as "toolAttributes":
 * If they implement the ViewTool interface, they will get initialized with
 * the Velocity context. This allows tools from the view package of Velocity
 * Tools, like LinkTool, to be defined as "toolAttributes" on a VelocityView,
 * instead of in a separate toolbox XML file.
 *
 * <p>This is a separate class mainly to avoid a required dependency on
 * the view package of Velocity Tools in VelocityView itself.
