DispatcherServlet is the central component in Spring MVC, acting as the front controller that handles incoming HTTP requests and manages the request lifecycle.
Upon receiving an HTTP request, DispatcherServlet uses handler mappings to identify the appropriate controller to delegate the request processing.
DispatcherServlet interacts with key components like HandlerMapping for request handling, HandlerAdapter for executing controllers, and ViewResolver for view mapping.
In Spring applications, configuring DispatcherServlet is crucial, and it can be set up either via web.xml or Java configuration to initialize the required beans.
