Introduction To Spring MVC

Spring MVC is a Java framework for building web applications based on the MVC design pattern. It uses the DispatcherServlet as the central controller to receive HTTP requests and dispatch them to controllers. Controllers handle requests, interact with models and services, and return a ModelAndView containing the model data and view name. The view resolver determines the actual view to render the response. Spring MVC promotes separation of concerns, modularity, testability, and integrates with Spring features like dependency injection.

Here's an introduction to Spring MVC, incorporating images to illustrate key

concepts:

What is Spring MVC?

● It's a powerful and flexible Java framework for building web applications.
● It's based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern, which promotes
separation of concerns, modularity, and testability.
● It integrates seamlessly with the core Spring framework, offering features like
dependency injection, transaction management, and more.

Key Components:

DispatcherServlet:

● The heart of Spring MVC, acting as the central controller.


● Receives all incoming HTTP requests and dispatches them to appropriate handlers.

Controllers:

● Handle incoming requests, process data, and return an appropriate response.


● Marked with the @Controller annotation.
● Methods within controllers are mapped to specific URL patterns using the
@RequestMapping annotation.

Models:

● Encapsulate application data, representing the information to be displayed in the


view.
● Can be plain Java objects (POJOs), collections, or any other data structure.

Views:

● Responsible for rendering the response to the user, often in the form of HTML,
JSON, or XML.
● Spring MVC supports various view technologies, including JSP, Thymeleaf,
FreeMarker, and more.

Request Flow:

1. Client sends a request to the server.


2. DispatcherServlet intercepts the request.
3. DispatcherServlet consults handler mappings to determine the appropriate
controller and method.
4. Controller method executes, potentially interacting with models and services.
5. Controller returns a ModelAndView object, containing the model data and view
name.
6. DispatcherServlet uses a view resolver to determine the actual view to render.
7. View is rendered, generating the response content.
8. Response is sent back to the client.

Advantages of Spring MVC:

● Clear separation of concerns: Promotes cleaner code and better organization.


● Testability: Components can be easily tested in isolation.
● Flexibility: Supports various view technologies and can be customized to specific
needs.
● Integration with Spring: Benefits from Spring's core features like dependency
injection and AOP.
● RESTful web services: Can be easily created using Spring MVC annotations.
