The servlet receives POST requests containing xml documents that describe operations like "add-something-to-db" / "retrieve-something-from-db" / "sync-time-with-server". The servlet parses these xmls, fullfills the requests and responds with an xml document containing either error codes or some info that was requested. The servlet needs access to daos that the web application uses to fulfill most of these requests. Theres no GUI/Web GUI involved with this servlet. So it doesn't need to redirect to or show any web pages.
I looked at "Controller" but it seems that if i use it i have to respond with some ModelAndView object to requests...
