This book starts all the necessary topics in starting a Spring MVC-based application. Moving ahead, it explains how to design model objects to handle file objects, save files into a data store, and how Spring MVC behaves when an application deals with uploading and downloading files. It shows how to create a customer feedback system that does not require a username or password to log in. Later, it will discuss how to use Spring Web Flow on top of Spring MVC to create better web applications.

By the end of the book you will be able to create efficient and flexible real-time web applications using all the frameworks in Spring MVC.
