Model View Controller Architecture
• Model View Controller is commonly thought of as a software reuse pattern, but it is more of than a
pattern
- Model View Controller is a way of architecting.
- The well respected Small Talk framework pioneered MVC.
- Java and especially J2EE uses an MVC architecture when describing web application best practices.
- J2EE commonly call MVC “Model 2” in J2EE terminology because the J2EE Blueprints described a
variation of MVC as model 2.
• MVC is a way of designing that separates three portions of an application.
- The Model is the business rules and most commonly how the persistent information (Database) is
changed.
- The View is the presentation or how the application looks.
- The Controller represents how the application reacts to user input.
• This separation of concerns allows the view, or Model to be independent of each other.
- The model can remain unchanged with the view changes.
- The model and view can use completely different technologies.
- The controller (in a way) serves as the glue between the model and the view.
