What is the exact differance between MVC and Front Controller Design Pattern? I am confused between these two design patterns. In MVC also every request goes throguh Controller Component. Then what is the exact differance between these two.Please reply.
I know they seem confusing. But there is a difference that in the Front Controller, there is only one controller component whereas in the MVC there can be more. Actually the Front Controller can be thought as a variation of the MVC where there is a single controller. Take a look at Marc Peabody's notes on design patterns.
