(1) New features * Hidden field in component HTML form is no more needed * It is possible to update several components in Ajax mode * The transition between Ajax and non-Ajax mode is undetectable, you can switch Javascript support on or off and see no visual difference. * It is possible to set target location in Reload tag. * Mini Blogger showcase sample * Tab control sample, see the live demo. Notice how the page is updated in Ajax and non-Ajax modes.

The Library does not require a portal engine or other central controller. The components built with the Library can be employed in any application that uses JSP, including Struts applications. The Library utilizes two request processing concepts: * Traditional synchronous HTTP request/response cycle (Non-Ajax mode), and * In-place updating for browsers supporting XMLHTTPRequest object (Ajax mode). Input and output are treated as two distinct phases. On input phase (or accept phase) a browser sends an event and accompanying data to a component, usually by submitting an HTML form. On output phase (or render phase) the component displays a view matching its state. By default, in non-Ajax mode each phase corresponds to a separate HTTP request. On input phase browser submits data to a component, and component accepts and processes it. After that, the component reloads the page by redirecting browser to original page location. In Ajax mode an application renders a view directly in response to asynchronous input event, no reloading is needed. An HTML fragment, returned by component, is inserted into the larger composite page without full page refresh. Pages composed with JSP Controls Tag Library look and behave the same way whether they run in Ajax mode or not. In fact, a browser that renders web page in an off-screen buffer, may deliver the same flicker-free experience in non-Ajax mode as other browsers do in Ajax mode.
