I've accomplished complex functionality like that in the past with javascript, dhtml and a hidden frame. The user would interact with a specific area of the page and submit data. The javascript functions would sit on a global window level and serialize the data into xml packets that were passed to the hidden frame. The hidden frame submitted the xml to the backend and was given a response in xml, which was parsed in javascript and then redisplayed in the appropriate tile area. It was an intranet application and the technique gave us the ability to 100% cache the client layer on the clients machine. The only data that ever got sent back and forth was the xml through the hidden frame ... gave us a huge performance boost. The original application we replaced was a compiled windows app and we were able to get the speed of the web app to within 5% of the compiled windows app after the caching had synchronized. I would imagine a similar techique could be utilized with struts.
