Maybe not at all to do with Spring, but you could have a look at:

- ZK http://zkoss.org/ (licence needed for commercial use)
- Dojo http://www.dojotoolkit.org/

Before I am switching my web tier to Spring MVC, we had a lot of Dojo widgets in our page. Now, I am trying to switch to use Spring form tags and it doesn't seem to play nicely with Dojo widgets.

For example, I am trying to use a Dojo busy button to submit a form.

<input type="submit" dojoType="busybutton" value="Start search" />

However, my form doesn't submit. I change it to use a regular input submit button and it works. Anyone know if there is a workaround for this? I am still searching through the forums.

I think I have found the issues and it doesn't really have to do with Spring tags or Dojo but the way you code up your buttons using input types of button and submit. Matter of fact, my JSPs are a mixture of Dojo elements, Spring tags and regular HTML and Spring MVC seems to handle each case fairly nicely.
