I am happy to announce that web-partialresponse 1.0.0 is released and is available on maven-central.
The goal of the library is to have a similar functionality as JSF has with AJAX requests. There is a servlet based class that can generate partial-response XMLs. The generated XMLs can be processed by the provided javascript snippet on the client side.
The library is based on JQuery. It supports the same DOM manipulation functions as JQuery does: append, prepend, replace.
We created this library as we believe that with the right templating engine it is possible to write super-fast and clean code to render websites and process AJAX requests. We believe that a portal should be written with server-side templating.
