I think the InternalResourceViewResolver supports servlets and jsp files. Suffix as per Spring's API javadocs is that which "gets appended to view names when building a URL". It is not the file's extension, even though it is very misleading. I checked on UrlBasedViewResolver setSuffix() class.

Probably if they name it as viewSuffix, it might make more sense, I guess.
