I'm developing a web application in Spring MVC.
I have a method that returns a list (java.util.List) and needs to pass it to the view (.jsp), however without updating the page.
I would like to know some other way to pass the Java information to the view, but without using ModelAndView, because when I use the page it is updated.
As stated in the comment, you need Ajax to avoid page loading.
An example using Jquery:
$.ajax({
url: '/lista',
success: function(data) {
//Aqui você recebe sua lista
}
});
Your controller would look like this:
@ResponseBody//O spring vai retornar sua lista como texto, vai traduzir para Json
@RequestMapping(value = "/lista")
public List<Item> listagem() {
//Aqui você retorna sua lista contendo os objetos
return listaDao.findAll();
}
