I love the Spring Framework. It’s pretty much changed my enterprise Java development. I’ve also ditched Struts for Spring MVC to keep my technology stack simple.
A new project calls for Ajax enabled pages so I’ve been researching AJAX integration with Spring MVC.
Here are some references as a starting point:
- Mangeability’s Open Source AJAX Frameworks with Server-Side Java Support
- Ajax Pattern’s Java Ajax Frameworks
These articles both point to promising choices for a pre-existing framework:
- Spring Modules XT Framework
- Ajax and the Spring Framework with TIBCO General Interface
- DWR and Spring
Honorable mention (but probably not headed in this direction):
- Google Web Toolkit (GWT). Pretty cool, but overkill for this project
- Also Using the GWTSpringController and GWTHandler
- OpenLaszlo. Also interesting, also overkill
I’ll post my final pick and why when finished.
Hi Chris,
I’m Sergio Bossa, from the Spring Modules Team, and I’m the lead developer of the XT Framework.
I’d like to hear your thoughts about it.
Feel free to ask me any question.
Cheers,
Sergio B.
