What is a controller class in Java SE ?

Question

Can someone explain the meaning and the position of a controller class in Java ? Why do we need to put the main method there ?

Can you elaborate more in question ? which controller do you mean here ? — Saurabh Oza, Oct 29 '18 at 13:15
Can you provide some more context? Where is the term "controller class" mentioned? — Henry, Oct 29 '18 at 13:19
Are you sure that you're not mixing this up with the MVC design pattern commonly used in Web Development? — EJoshuaS - Reinstate Monica, Oct 29 '18 at 13:49

A controller class is normally a class part of the Model View Controller (MVC) pattern. A controller basically controls the flow of the data.

It controls the data flow into model object and updates the view whenever data changes.

I suggest you read about it:
