MVC Design Pattern
MVC Design Pattern
A software design pattern that separates an application into three interconnected parts: Model, View, and Controller.
Model (in MVC)
Model (in MVC)
Represents the application's data and business logic. It manages data retrieval, processing, and storage, often interacting with databases.
Model State Encapsulation
Model State Encapsulation
It encapsulates the application's state and offers methods to access or modify that state.

Study Notes
-
The Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern is a widely used architectural pattern in software development
-
It separates an application into three interconnected components: Model, View, and Controller
-
This promotes modular development and enhances scalability, maintainability, and testability
-
In advanced Java development, the MVC pattern is commonly used in web applications
-
Examples include Spring MVC, JavaServer Faces (JSF), Struts, or Servlets and JSPs
-
By separating concerns, the MVC pattern simplifies development, testing, and maintenance of web applications
Model
- Represents the application's data and business logic
- Responsible for retrieving, processing, and storing data, often interacting with databases or external systems
- Encapsulates the state of the application and provides methods to access or modify that state
- The Model is independent of the UI
View
- It is responsible for rendering data provided by the Model in a format suitable for interaction (HTML, JSON, XML, etc.)
- Listens to changes in the Model and updates the UI accordingly, but does not modify the data
- In web applications, the View can be JSP (Java Server Pages), Thymeleaf templates, HTML with JavaScript, or other UI tech
- It is typically passive, only receiving updates from the Model and displaying them accordingly
Controller
- Acts as an intermediary between the Model and the View
- Processes user requests, updates the Model based on user input, and then updates the View with the new state of the data
- Takes input from the user (e.g., form submission, clicks), interprets the request, and calls the Model to update the data
- Determines which View to display and passes the appropriate data to the View
