The whole discussion about MVC and web frameworks is important, I think, because not many cash it out when to do so (cash it out) would be helpful for discussion. We might try some way of refering to this such as WEBMVC. Anyway, the MVC pattern, taken literally, is impossible in a web framework. What is possible is something like the following where the arrows indicate where there is a coupling:
View <==> Controller <==> Model Here the Model and the View are completely decoupled. But, even this is almost a total representation of what is really going on. What is really going on is that the response object is ultimately HTML and that the JSP pages are part of creating the response object, so that JSP pages inherently provide a smart-serverside View. This all is not simple to cash out. I have a sample beginning of cashing this out at http://131.191.32.112:8080/ , which, if others want to provide alternative way of viewing this I will show them all. The most important thing, I think, is to distinguish between the View data and the Model data. That is the distinction, I think, that Craig makes in JSTL between iteration and sql statements in JSP.
