Baking Ajax into Struts and Spring MVC

This one’s for the Java developers out there.

Raible designs on baking Ajax into Struts and Spring MVC:

I see a trend happening here. The next version of WebWork, as well as Tapestry and JSF are all embracing Ajax technologies. By “embracing”, I mean they’re not only using them, but they’re making it easier for us to use them.

After using XmlHttpRequest in my last two projects, I think this is a must for Struts and Spring MVC as well. The technology is very cool and customers absolutely love it.

The question is how do we bake it in? WebWork makes it easy because its tag libraries are backed by customizable Velocity templates. With Struts and Spring MVC, it seems the best way would be to use tag libraries, but maybe there’s better alternatives. Do they each need an AjaxAction/AjaxController or something that allows DWR-type stuff?
