[geeta vemula]

what is the diffrence between front controller and mvc? how we can distinguish both of them?

thanks,

The FrontController helps adapting the MVC pattern.

MVC means ModelViewController, hence separating Model, View and Controller.

In Struts, the FrontController intercepts all requests, forwards to the appropriate models which are also separated from the view layer.

Hi Geeta. See Peabody notes on design patterns.
