MVC 1.0(JSR371, cancelled)

Update: Unfortunately the Java EE export group decided to move MVC out of Java EE 8, and now it becomes a community based specification, more details please check the JSR 371 specification page.

MVC is a new specification which will be introduced in Java EE 8 (MVC is not part of Java EE 8 ) MVC is based on the existing JAXRS specification.

In the Spring4 Sandbox, I provided a simple task board sample to demonstrate Spring MVC with Apache Tiles, Thymeleaf, Freemarker etc.

In order to introduce the features of MVC 1.0, I will try to port this sample and use Java EE 8 MVC to reimplement it.

• Getting started with MVC
• Handling form submission
• Exception handling and form validation
• Processing PUT and DELETE methods
• Page navigation
• MVC and CDI
• Security
• Bean parameter conversion
• View engine
