A data view approach like, database, starting, special, simple

amy

In my new starting Spring application, a non-content region of a screen(web page) is for a special set of data from the back end database. The data will be shown every time when a user opens a page containing the region, if there is any. A dynamically data pressing will be a better approach. That needs to introduce Ajax.

I have implemented such functionality with the Tiles in a Spring application before. Since this one is a simple application, I don’t like to use the Tiles for the view. An alternative approach, I can think of, is a custom tag.

Any other approaches for this problem?

Thanks for your thought in advance.

Sounds like a pretty simple application if the back end data is independent of the user and his session.  How about a simple @include fragment instead of a custom tag.  For the Ajax side you might want to try DWR, if you haven't already.

Do you mean the JSP include tag? If so, how does it solve my problem?

Sorry, I missed something.  You have a problem?  I thought you were just asking for general advice.  What is it that you need that has to be in a custom tag (since you don't seem to want to use one)?

David,

That is my mistake. I thought you knew what you were talking about.
