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.

Speaking from our own experience, Spring MVC has been one of the easiest frameworks to adopt. This is largely because Spring is based on the same MVC pattern as our legacy approaches to web application development and it has been a natural progression for us. Before adopting anything, you first need to know your requirements and then you need to read up about it (e.g. check the Internet). The same applies with Spring MVC. You should only adopt it if it suits your requirements. However, if you do decide to go with Spring, I can assure you that you won't regret it. It's a very good framework. I would rate Spring MVC a nine out of ten.

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.
