From the documentation it’s said that it’s important to note that the spring framework does not
force you to use everything within it; it’s not an all-or-othing solution.
While the Spring framework does not force any particular application architecure it encourages the use of a
well layered application architecture with distinct tiers for the presentation, service, data access, and database.
