Re: MVC not suitable for Web Development

Hi there;

just a few thoughts:

Well in example in Spring controllers, nothing keeps you from making use 
of configurations or annotations to map URI patterns and HTTP verbs to 
@Controller methods, and likewise you can make these methods work with 
Request/Response the way you possibly would by just using plain 
HttpServlets or something the like. From that point of view, I don't see 
these things to be too bad. But generally indeed it seems these 
frameworks are built around a completely different idea, just 
considering the "view" approach in Spring MVC which, though not limited 
to that, still is pretty much centered around the idea of providing 
"views" in terms of user interaction, thus human-parseable HTML forms.

You can do way more with Spring MVC, but ultimately it boils down to 
this, and this also is how tutorials seem to be crafted. This might be 
good to those who already are knee-deep into HTTP while it might make 
things difficult to others trying to start out right this.

One word on SOAP however, from my point of view: Yes, SOAP folks did 
decide to just using HTTP as a transport protocol, which however, as far 
as I see things, is not a mistake but an actual design decision, and not 
a bad one from my point of view. Maybe there are smart and sane use 
cases for both. :)

Cheers,
