MVC Pattern

The document describes the model-view-controller (MVC) design pattern. MVC separates an application into three main components: the model, the view, and the controller. The model manages the data of the application, the view displays the user interface, and the controller handles input and conversion of data between the model and view.

DESIGN PATTERNS - MVC PATTERN

http://www.tutorialspoint.com/design_pattern/mvc_pattern.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com

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 view StudentView accordingly.

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

Step 1
Create Model.

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
Create View.

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
Create Controller.

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;
}
}

Step 5
Verify the output.

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