Spring MVC

The Spring team, as in all things they do, have learned the valuable lessons of the past when introducing a Spring solution. Spring MVC is everything Struts should be, and more besides.

This talk will introduce you to the Spring web application framework. You'll find out about the Controller hierarchy, and how the different kinds of Controllers allow for a more manageable logic tier. We'll look at validation and exception handling, configuration, URL mapping and CommandControllers (Spring's answer to ActionForms). Finally, we'll look at Spring's integration with another powerful web framework, Tapestry.
