Spring MVC is the standard MVC solution provided by SpringSource for your web applications , so you have the concept of a view which is for example your JSP page , a controller class (annotated with @Controller ) and a model which represents your data.
Spring Webflow is built on top of Spring MVC and differs slightly in purpose although it inherits most of the features of Spring MVC , webflow is more suited for wizard style applications where you enter data on a form and that has to pass a series of validations or capture of number of additional data on different pages before you complete your business process.

Assuming you are:
a. trying to decide which one suits your use case
b. asking from a client request perspective
- in an MVC paradigm a request travels through a controller, gets updated with something from the model and ends up at the dictate View.
- in a web flow paradigm a request may go through various paths and views depending on the rules. Credit card processing is a simple example of a paticular web flow.
