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

Spring framework can be visualized as an alternative to, replacement for, or even addition to the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) model as mentioned here. That means a framework to develop distributed, scalable, secured, transactional application.

Spring MVC can be thought of as an replacement to Struts, Stripes, Tapestry etc, i.e. Presentation layer framework.

Spring framework is the super set of Spring MVC.
