Integrate Spring MVC and Ajax

[Fabrizio Cappelletti]

Hi,
I'm developing a webapp with Hibernate+Spring 3 (Spring MVC, JSP): I'd like to create some divs with AJAX style (i.e. no need to refresh all the page, independent update of each div).

I'd like a good advice about which AJAX library to use (in conjunction with Spring 3 MVC + JSP) and, if possible, where to find some code snippets.

I know very little of AJAX libraries, JSONs and how to integrate them, but I have good knowledge of Javascript and Spring (and how callbacks work). I'd like to write as less code as possible, particularly in the jsps.

My Webapp will display an updated (every 5 minutes) POJO in a div and perform some operations between different domain objects in the other div when user press a button.


Thanks!

Well, in some perspective there is no integration needed? They just work together. I will say that JQuery is the most common JavaScript library used. Spring does have a JavaScript library that you can also use, but it is based on Dojo.

In your opinion, between JScript and Dojo (through Spring JS) what is the solution with the least code "effort"?

Always depends on what you are doing. Personally, straight JavaScript to me is not a solution. Using Spring JS or JQuery. MooTools is also good.
