A request leaves the browser asking for a URL and optionally with request parameters.
The request is first examined by DispatcherServlet.
DispatcherServlet consults handler-mappings defined in a configuration file and selects an appropriate
controller and delegates to it to handle the request.
The controller applies appropriate logic to process the request which results in some information (a.k.a.
model). This information is associated with the logical name of a result rendering entity (a.k.a view) and the
whole is returned as a ModelAndView object along with the request back to DispatcherServlet.
DispatcherServlet then consults the logical view name with a view resolving object to determine the actual view
implementation to use.
DispatcherServlet delivers the model and request to the view implementation which renders an output and sends it
back to the browser.
