- *     Standard controller implementations for the servlet MVC framework that comes

- * <p>
- *     A {@code Controller} - as defined in this package - is analogous to a Struts
- *     {@code Action}. Usually {@code Controllers} are JavaBeans
- *     to allow easy configuration. Controllers define the {@code C} from so-called
- *     MVC paradigm and can be used in conjunction with the
- *     {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView ModelAndView}
- *     to achieve interactive applications. The view might be represented by a
- *     HTML interface, but, because of model and the controller being completely
- *     independent of the view, PDF views are possible, as well as for instance Excel
- *     views.
- * </p>
- *
- * <p>
- *     How to actually set up a (web)application using the MVC framework Spring
- *     provides is explained in more detail in the
- *     <a href="../../../../../../MVC-step-by-step/Spring-MVC-step-by-step.html">MVC-Step-by-Step
- *     tutorial</a>, also provided in this package (or have a look
- *     <a href="http://www.springframework.org">here</a> for an online version).
- *     The classes contained by this package explain in more detail the actual
- *     workflow of some of the abstract and concrete controller and how to extend
- *     and fully use their functionality.
- * </p>
- *
- * <p>
- *     Especially useful to read, while getting into the Spring MVC framework
- *     are the following:
- *     <ul>
- *         <li><a href="Controller.html">Controller</a></li>
- *         <li><a href="SimpleFormController.html">BaseCommandController</a></li>
- *         <li><a href="ParameterizableViewController.html">ParameterizableViewController</a></li>
- *     </ul>
- * </p>
+ * Standard controller implementations for the Servlet MVC framework that comes with
+ * Spring. Provides various controller styles, including an annotation-based model.
