Featured Spring MVC reviews

Arkabrata Ghosh

Java developer at Marlabs Inc.

The best feature of Spring MVC is its auto-configuration capabilities. A user need not configure anything in the product as it offers configuration files to set profiling and guide users with what they need to connect for development, staging, or production. The auto-configuration is one of the best components of the solution.

MVC is a user-friendly cloud-based platform, so it was easy to set up. It's plug-and-play. Our DevOps was responsible for deployment. It has about five to 10 people. DevOps created the pipeline in Jenkins on which we deploy our modules I was involved in staging the solution for production. We used Jenkins for that. The time needed for deployment depends on the size of your module and the development environment module size actually. Adding more modules takes about 10 to 15 minutes each. It would be nice if they could reduce that part. The deployment time is a little high.

Professor at UFERSA

I have recently had problems with the changes that were made using Spring Security. I use this model to make my APIs communicate with the front pages using JW Token. Now after the changes, I find it more difficult to do because it's not easy or inherent anymore. I would like to be able to make my APIs communicate with the front pages using JW Token easily again.
