Spring MVC Interview Preparation for Freshers
1. What is Spring MVC?
Spring MVC is a Java framework used to build web applications using the Model-View-Controller
architecture.
- Model: Handles data and business logic.
- View: User interface (usually HTML or JSP).
- Controller: Handles user input and updates the model/view.
Spring MVC makes it easy to manage large applications by separating concerns.
2. Why Use Spring MVC?
- Clean separation of logic and UI.
- Built-in support for REST APIs.
- Integration with databases using Spring Data.
- Easy to test and maintain.

4. Simple Login App (Project Plan)
A simple Spring MVC login app:
- login.jsp: User enters username & password.

This helps understand MVC flow practically.
