The purpose of this post is to give a Maven based sample code of Spring with Stripes integration. The source code set is already in Eclipse project format, so you can use eclipse to view files content and structure.
This post will not explain about the techniques of integrating spring with stripes. The spring with stripes integration is very well explained at Stripes framework wiki page – Spring with Stripes. I kindly suggest you to read that documentation first before trying out the sample code given in this post. This post also assume that you are familiar with the basics of Maven, Eclipse, Stripes and Spring.
Few of the other “How to” samples (like Ajax addition, addition, echo, stripes layout reuse) that were documented in Stripes framework wiki page were also included in this sample code.

Displaytag is an open source suite of custom tags with which you can easily display a collection of Objects as a table including direct support for paging and sorting. Normally selecting a new page, or sorting the tables leads to a complete page-refresh. It is more user-friendly to refresh only the data in the table using Ajax technology, however Displaytag doesn’t offer this out-of-the-box. But we can of course try to add support for this using one of the many Ajax frameworks that are currently available.
A non ajax enabled Displaytag would do a request to a controller for every action such as a sorting or selecting a next page. This would result in a complete page refresh (step 1-8 ). When we Ajax enable the Displaytag we skip the page refresh and only refresh a specific piece of the page using an exposed service which provides the updated HTML fragment (step 1a-8a).
