title: ViewModel in Java (Spring)
body: <p>I've read much about the usage of ViewModel in ASP.Net MVC, and in fact used the pattern myself.</p>
  
  <p>Now that I'm looking at MVC in Java (specifically using the Spring framework), it doesn't seem to get any attention.</p>
  
  <p>What is the reason for that?</p>
  
  <p>Is there some other mechanism which is more suitable for Java?</p>
  
  <p>(The idea of course is to separate the core Models of the application from some ViewModel which is more View specific)</p>
