Object Oriented Java

Spring’s web MVC framework

is a web MVC framework, it is  request-driven, and depends on a central servlet that dispatches requests to controllers and offers other functionality that facilitates the development of web applications.

It is one of the most in-demand software skills in the job market today.

Spring starts by developing a servlet called the Dispatcher Servlet and setting an URL pattern such that all requests are handled here.

This is done by having a mapping in the web.xml file.

The DispatcherServlet implements the  “Front Controller” design where every request must pass through the Dispatcher Servlet.

Our web.xml file.
