You will find some server-side Java code samples in the Ajax in Action and Ajax in Practice books.

You can find the source code of both books here:

Thanks a lot Mr.Valentin Crettaz.I will go through the samples now.

Do you suggest me to purhcase Ajax in Action.? Is this book explained Ajax using Java and Jsp ?

Waiting for expert comment.

Ajax in Action uses a mix of server-side technologies including Java, while Ajax in Practice uses Java exclusively.

However, if you are an Ajax neophyte, you should read a book like Ajax in Action before diving into Ajax in Practice which is more of a book on putting Ajax into use rather than teaching you what Ajax is all about.
