Like Struts, Spring MVC is a request-based framework. The Spring Framework comprises several modules that provide a range of services: inversion of control container, aspect-oriented programming, data access, transaction management, model-view-controller, remote access framework, convention-over-configuration, batch processing, authentication and authorization, remote management, messaging, testing, and so on. Refer to http://www.springsource.org/ for more information.
The Spring MVC portlet bridge is a request-driven web MVC framework, designed around a portlet that dispatches requests to controllers and offers other functionality facilitating the development of portlet applications. The class DispatcherPortlet, however, is integrated with the Spring ApplicationContext and allows us to use every other feature that Spring framework has. The following table shows the DispatcherPortlet initialization parameters:
