NOTE
Spring MVC Learning Resources
A roadmap from DispatcherServlet and controllers through argument resolution, message conversion, validation, errors, and source analysis.
This is a historical learning note and may contain outdated or incomplete understanding.
Study Spring MVC in this order:
- Servlet/HTTP fundamentals and
DispatcherServlet; - controller/request mapping;
- argument binding and validation;
- message converters and content negotiation;
- exception handling/interceptors;
- asynchronous request support;
- source pipeline on the exact deployed Spring version.
Use current Spring reference documentation because old examples may use deprecated configuration styles or the historical javax.servlet namespace.
