Spring's MVC implementation

The Spring framework (http://www.springframework.org/) includes an elegant MVC (model-view-controller) module for building Web applications. Spring is fairly unique in its ability to support plugins at all levels in its stack, from database access to transaction control to MVC layer. In addition to standard JSP and JSTL, many different view technologies have been used with Spring (Struts, Velocity, Freemarker, XSLT, Web Flow,etc.). You can choose which MVC layer to use. Furthermore you can choose which rendering engine to use within the MVC layer. The Spring framework supports all these views equally, without preference, so customizing the framework to support a new one is a common use-case.

Ajax(Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) means many things to many people. However, one thing is certain: To users it implies a higher level of functionality and an improved experience. To the developer, another certainty follows: More work. The only question is how much work and to what end.
