If you are following the news about Java EE 8, you may now be wondering: why is MVC 1.0 here if it was dropped from the Java EE 8 umbrella?

Yes, it is true. MVC 1.0 doesn't belong (anymore) to the Java EE 8 release. But it didn't reduce the importance of this great API and I'm sure it will change the way some other APIs work in future releases (for example, JSF).

So why not cover it here? You will use it anyway.

This recipe will show you how to use a Controller (the C) to inject a Model (the M) into the View (the V). It also brings some CDI and JAX-RS to the party.
