The MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture has its roots in the Smalltalk programming language, where it was
originally applied to map the traditional input, processing, and output tasks
to the graphical user interaction model. The following diagram shows the MVC
architecture.
The MVC consist of three parts:
· Model: Model is the core of the
application which maintains the state and data that the application represents.
It knows nothing about the views representing this model.
· View: The view renders the
contents of a model. It specifies how the model should be presented. It is the
view's responsibility to maintain consistency in its presentation when the
model changes. There may be several
views representing the same model.
· Controller: The controller
translates user interactions with the view into actions to be performed by the
model. In a stand-alone GUI client, user interactions could be button clicks or
menu selections, whereas in a Web application, they appear as GET and POST HTTP
requests. Based on the user interactions and the outcome of the model actions,
the controller responds by selecting an appropriate view.
Let's discuss how this architecture is implemented in popular java web frameworks.
