what is the difference between Spring and Spring MVC framework

Question

I am new to Spring. Can any one let me know what is the difference between Spring and Spring MVC Framework ?

Answer 1

MVC is a Spring module. You use it for designing web applications. MVC in Spring implements the front controller design pattern. In your web.xml you'll define a single servlet (DispatcherServlet) and all your requests will pass through it and will be attended by Controllers you will define (@Controller).
