Struts 2: Ajax Tags

Today I was looking for a way to have a textbox with combobox functionality using javascript when I came across this awsome taglib that is included in Struts 2.1. It is Struts 2.1 Ajax Tags . I love Struts 2 and it is great to see that they have some out of the box ajax tags that you can use in your page. The struts project has also provided some great examples.

In my current project, I am using webworks and have not migrated to struts 2.0 yet. Now that I have seen this plugin, I really can‘t wait to migrate to struts 2.1. The new Struts 2 framework has some great plugins and also is incorporating great functionality for the development community. The only thing that sucks is that this ajax code is not going to be incorporated until struts 2.1. I wonder when they plan on releasing that? Struts 2 seems to be incorporating some great functionality to there framework to help developers great feature rich applications. Way to go Struts team.

Well the combobox looks pretty stupid to me. It displays both a text box AND a select box.

Well that is how a combobox should work. You should be able to filter results in the select box by entering text in the text box. This is pretty standard.
