MVC Fundamentals

Model-View Architecture (Model-1)

Components

• Model: Data handling and Business logic (Java beans)
• View: Presentation/appearance of the data (JSP)

Characteristics

• Tight Coupling: Java beans are tightly coupled with JSP pages (jsp:useBean)
• Page Dependencies: JSP pages are tightly coupled with other JSP pages (href="...", action="...")
• Change Impact: Any changes in bean or JSP lead to changes in multiple other components

Suitability

• Best for: Small applications
• Limitations: Difficult to maintain as application grows
