问题:

I was wondering if Spring MVC can be used to implement MVC pattern in Java Swing Applications. I've done some study and found Spring MVC to be used for web development.

Is there any way Spring MVC to be used with Swing Applications?

回答1:

Not really. As you say, Spring MVC (or Spring Web MVC) is primary targeted for web server development and thus have little to do with client side or standalone GUI applications.

That said, nothing prevents you from using ordinary Spring technologies for dependency injection, as a backend in your model, etc. Spring provides abstractions for persistence, remote network communication, transactions, security and so on that might come in handy in many projects.

Additionally, there is the Spring Rich Client Project that was released some years ago, but I do not know its current status.

回答2:

No, but you may want to take a look at Griffon, which offers a Swing MVC framework base on Spring libraries and the Groovy language, which should be really easy for any Java programmer to pick up.

I've used it quite successfully to build rather large desktop applications for corporate clients.
