Is Dispatcher-servlet in Spring MVC - Controller?

If Dispatcher-Servlet is not the controller then who is?

Controller is the one who manages the request and by this definition, it should be the controller.

What is the Model and View in this case?

The DispatcherServlet follows the Front Controller design pattern. The C in MVC refers to the page controller which retreives the data from the model (your services) and passes it to the view for rendering.

The purpose of the DispatcherServlet is to determine the page controller that is supposed to handle the request and coordinates the model and the view

Its an advanced servlet which can handle request mapping , locale resolution , view resolution , content negotiation etc
