MVC in Java

What is MVC Pattern?
         MVC Pattern stands for Model-View-Controller Pattern. This pattern is used to separate application's concerns.

Model
         Model represents an object or JAVA POJO carrying data. It can also have logic to update controller if its data changes.

View
         View represents the visualization of the data that model contains.

Controller
         Controller acts on both model and view. It controls the data flow into model object and updates the view whenever data changes. It keeps view and model separate.

Implementation:

            We are going to create a Student object acting as a model.StudentView will be a view class which can print student details on console and StudentController is the controller class responsible to store data in Student object and update viewStudentView accordingly.

       MVCPatternDemo, our demo class, will use StudentController to demonstrate use of MVC pattern.

Now we create the example in java MVC so follow step by step.

Step 1

      Now we create the model. model name is student.java.

Student.java

public class Student {
   private String rollNo;
   private String name;
   
   public String getRollNo() {
      return rollNo;
   }
   
   public void setRollNo(String rollNo) {
      this.rollNo = rollNo;
   }
   
   public String getName() {
      return name;
   }
   
   public void setName(String name) {
      this.name = name;
   }
}

Step 2:

      Now we create view and view file name StudentView,java.

StudentView.java.

public class StudentView {
   public void printStudentDetails(String studentName, String studentRollNo){
      System.out.println("Student: ");
      System.out.println("Name: " + studentName);
      System.out.println("Roll No: " + studentRollNo);
   }
}

Step 3:
      Now we create controller and controller name is StudentController.java.

StudentController.java

public class StudentController {
   private Student model;
   private StudentView view;

   public StudentController(Student model, StudentView view){
      this.model = model;
      this.view = view;
   }

   public void setStudentName(String name){
      model.setName(name);  
   }

   public String getStudentName(){
      return model.getName();  
   }

   public void setStudentRollNo(String rollNo){
      model.setRollNo(rollNo);  
   }

   public String getStudentRollNo(){
      return model.getRollNo();  
   }

   public void updateView(){    
      view.printStudentDetails(model.getName(), model.getRollNo());
   } 
}

Step 4

        Use the StudentController methods to demonstrate MVC design pattern usage.

MVCPatternDemo.java

public class MVCPatternDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      //fetch student record based on his roll no from the database
      Student model  = retriveStudentFromDatabase();

      //Create a view : to write student details on console
      StudentView view = new StudentView();

      StudentController controller = new StudentController(model, view);

      controller.updateView();

      //update model data
      controller.setStudentName("John");

      controller.updateView();
   }

   private static Student retriveStudentFromDatabase(){
      Student student = new Student();
      student.setName("Robert");
      student.setRollNo("10");
      return student;
   }
}

 Now Run your Project and watch the your application Output.

Like this:

Student: 
Name: Robert
Roll No: 10
Student: 
Name: John
Roll No: 10
