XMLC itself really lives at a lower level than MVC. That said, it certainly
complements the basic pattern. You might want to look at Barracuda, which
builds on XMLC to provide both Model 2 flow control and strongly typed MVC
gui widgets (similar to Swing) for manipulating the DOM. Some folks have
call XMLC "push-mvc" since the the servlet generally modifies the DOM,
versus JSP's (and other template engines) "pull-mvc", where the template
pulls data out of the model. Barracuda actually enables both approaches
(there's a really nifty BTemplateComponent, and the models that support it
can return Strings, DOM Nodes, or (really cool and Swingish) even other
BComponents.
If you're interested in MVC, its worth a look (of course I'm biased ;-)
