What are the limitations of using the FRONT CONROLLER Design patterns, Can anybody help me on this??? In this only the single instance of the servlet is used to handle all the request, will that increase the load and reduce the performance?? [ December 16, 2003: Message edited by: Andy Smith ]
Two general limitations of a Front Controller pattern: - The implementing code will generally become more complex as the number of applications that route through it grow in number. - It's usually not worthwhile to implement unless you're providing mostly dynamic content. The pattern itself does not speak to inherently better or worse performance than another approach. For that aspect, the devil is in the details, or in this case, the code implementation itself.
