Spring MVC

Print the objectives

The objectives of the Spring MVC exam are:

To understand the request lifecycle and how this reflects on the different Spring MVC components
Knowing how all the Spring MVC components can be wired together and customized
To be able to implement the J2EE standard view technology JSP in combination with JSTL
To understand how I18N is handled
And finally, when things get going wrong, knowing how to handle exceptions

The objectives relate to the Spring reference manual chapter 13 and 14. For chapter 14, which covers the view technologies, only questions related to JSTL and JSP will be asked.
