The prefix suggests they apply MVC-wide, however they're used to configure InternalResourceViewResolver which is largely specific to JSPs.

I'm not sure what the property name should be. InternalResourceViewResolver is only largely and not entirely JSP-specific. The Web Method Security smoke test (among others) demonstrates this as it has some plain HTML files in src/main/webapp that are registered as views using ViewControllerRegistry.

We discussed this today and decided to leave the property names as they are.
