The Simple Web Application Module
The web application is defined in a
simple-webapp project. This simple web application project is going to
define two Spring MVC Controllers:
WeatherController and HistoryController. Both of these
controllers are going to reference components defined in
simple-weather and
simple-persist. The Spring container is configured
in this application’s web.xml,
which references the applicationContext-weather.xml file in
simple-weather and the
applicationContext-persist.xml
file in simple-persist. The component architecture
of this simple web application is shown in Figure 7-3.
