           Summary: Incomplete System.Web implementation prevents ASP.NET
                    MVC 3 from view resolution
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: 2.8.x
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Sys.Web
        AssignedTo: mhabersack at novell.com

It seems that ASP.NET MVC 3 uses BuildManager.GetObjectFactory(virtualPath,
false) != null condition to check if given view file exists. 
Mono 2.8 implementation of BuildManager.GetObjectFactory() (System.Web 4.0)
method looks like this (method marked as TODO): 

[MonoTODO("A no-op until we use IWebObjectFactory internally. Always returns
null.")] 
public static IWebObjectFactory GetObjectFactory(string virtualPath, bool
throwIfNotFound) 
{ 
    return null; 
} 

This causes view resolution to fail because FileExist check will always yield a
negative result.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an empty ASP.NET MVC 3 application
2. Return ViewResult in default controller's (Home) Index action
3. Create Index view (using either WebForms or Razor view engine)
4. Run the application and try to navigate to /Home/Index
Actual Results:  
Index view cannot be found even though residing in proper location (case taken
into account).

Expected Results:  
Index view should be displayed instead of exception/error message
