Spring MVC

概述：

Spring MVC是结构最清晰的MVC Model 2实现。它的Action也不叫Action，而是称做Controller；Controller接收request, response参数，然后返回ModelAndView（其中的Model不是Object类型，而是Map类型）。但在其它的Web Framework中，Action返回值一般都只是一个View Name；Model则需要通过其它的途径（如request.attribute，Context参数，或Action本身的属性数据）传递上去。

Features of Spring Web MVC

Spring's web module provides a wealth of unique web support features, including:

• Clear separation of roles - controller, validator, command object, form object, model object,DispatcherServlet, handler mapping, view resolver, etc. Each role can be fulfilled by a specialized object.

• Powerful and straightforward configuration of both framework and application classes as JavaBeans, including easy referencing across contexts, such as from web controllers to business objects and validators.

• Adaptability, non-intrusiveness. Use whatever controller subclass you need (plain, command, form, wizard, multi-action, or a custom one) for a given scenario instead of deriving from a single controller for everything.

• Reusable business code - no need for duplication. You can use existing business objects as command or form objects instead of mirroring them in order to extend a particular framework base class.

• Customizable binding and validation - type mismatches as application-level validation errors that keep the offending value, localized date and number binding, etc instead of String-only form objects with manual parsing and conversion to business objects.

• Customizable handler mapping and view resolution - handler mapping and view resolution strategies range from simple URL-based configuration, to sophisticated, purpose-built resolution strategies. This is more flexible than some web MVC frameworks which mandate a particular technique.

• Flexible model transfer - model transfer via a name/value Map supports easy integration with any view technology.

• Customizable locale and theme resolution, support for JSPs with or without Spring tag library, support for JSTL, support for Velocity without the need for extra bridges, etc.

• A simple yet powerful JSP tag library known as the Spring tag library that provides support for features such as data binding and themes. The custom tags allow for maximum flexibility in terms of markup code. For information on the tag library descriptor, see the appendix entitled Appendix D, spring.tld

• A JSP form tag library, introduced in Spring 2.0, that makes writing forms in JSP pages much easier. For information on the tag library descriptor, see the appendix entitledAppendix E, spring-form.tld

• Beans whose lifecycle is scoped to the current HTTP request or HTTP Session. This is not a specific feature of Spring MVC itself, but rather of theWebApplicationContext container(s) that Spring MVC uses. These bean scopes are described in detail in the section entitled Section 3.4.4, “The other scopes”
