Spring MVC 2.5 and Simle Ajax test

amy

Hi Everybody!

I know this has been asked and answered many times, but I'm unable to get a clear picture (my problem :[).

I've developed a test webapp using Spring MVC 2.5 + Hibernate + Tiles 2. Everything is fine. But now I want to use Ajax! I'm pretty confused  with all the Ajax and UI frameworks and their *smooth* integration with Spring MVC. Following are my requirements for an Ajax solution (in no particular order):

1. Simple to use - as in DWR
2. Low overhead for browser-server communication
3. Lightweight - I think TIBCO GI is heavy
4. Good number of widgets - Dojo UI has very few
5. Stay away from JSF and other Spring elements such as SWF and JS
6. Hack-free integration with Spring MVC controllers
7. Unintrusive - hate DWR tags inside Spring beans
8. Minimum javascript in my view HTML

Anybody has any guidance, please?
