AjaxAnywhere From Ajaxian.com:

AjaxAnywhere is designed to turn any set of existing JSP components into AJAX-aware components without complex JavaScript coding. In contrast to other solutions, AjaxAnywhere is not component-oriented. You will not find here yet another AutoComplete component. Simply separate your web page into multiple zones, and use AjaxAnywhere to refresh only those zones that needs to be updated.

This is one of the few Ajax projects I've seen that looks to provide a lot of value w/o a whole lot of work. Notice how much it enhances JSF with this cool demo. Posted in Java at Sep 16 2005, 08:52:29 AM MDT 4 Comments

Hi Mat, AjaxTags is including an example on how to convert DisplayTag paging and sorting using a filter. I think they are following a similar approach in the sence that you are not required to change the way you program right now (JSP, JSTL, etc). The new components (porlet, tab panel, etc) take html from a url (page or action) and show it on the component. This tools will help to solve the portlet (or content from multiple actions) in Struts. We are using it with SiteMetch in our applications with very good results.

Looks pretty cool. I wonder if it works with GET's or only with POST's. I have several web actions such as sort table and paginate which are GET's and not POST's.
