Spring provides its own MVC framework, Spring MVC, other than providing great integration with popular web frameworks such as Struts.

Important artifacts/modules are listed as follows:

• spring-web: Provides basic web features, such as multi-part file upload. Provides support for integration with other web frameworks, such as Struts.
• spring-webmvc: Provides a fully featured web MVC framework--Spring MVC, which includes features to implement REST services as well.
