Можете объяснить роль и назначение компонента DispatcherServlet в архитектуре Spring MVC?

DispatcherServlet is the central component in the Spring MVC architecture responsible for handling all incoming HTTP requests.

Its role and purpose:

• Receives requests from clients and directs them to the appropriate controllers.
• Performs routing of requests based on URL and configuration.
• Manages the request lifecycle, including invoking controllers, handling exceptions, and selecting the view.
• Integrates with other Spring components such as handlers, interceptors, and resolvers.

Example: When a request is made to /users, the DispatcherServlet determines which controller and method should handle this request, invokes them, and returns the generated response to the client.
