Spring Thymeleaf server-side pagination - spring

I've been trying to implement a sever-side pagination for my project using Spring and Thymeleaf, I was able to read things about how I can make this posible, one is through the use of dandelion datatables wherein I was able to make the integration successful but only in the client side. The second one i tried is using an example I found at http://www.opencodez.com/java/datatable-with-spring-boot.html which was successful but was a bit complicated. Other examples I find are from this and other sites are old, I need a recent example on how I could implement server-side pagination in Spring using thymeleaf and JPA. It would also a big help if it would involve the use of JQuery datatables because of its features.

I was able to do this with Spring-Data's pagination and the Thymeleaf dialect here https://github.com/jpenren/thymeleaf-spring-data-dialect/
Should do exactly what you want I think.

Spring Boot, do I even need a model with vuejs?

I'm having trouble understanding and then deciding how I want setup the frontend of my spring boot application. My question is do I even need thymeleaf or rather do I lose something if I only use vuejs?
First things first I am mostly into backend stuff and barely know a lot about current frontend technologies etc. However I tried out vuejs and liked it a lot.
I used to use thymeleaf and serve static html pages with thymeleaf markup. After playing around a bit with vuejs I want to use that instead.
So far I've managed to set it up two ways:
I keep thymeleaf and use it together with vuejs. This allows me to keep the model that I can pass in my view controllers.
I only use vuejs and get all information through REST from the spring boot app. However I am asking myself if there isnt a way to access the model from here? If that would be the case I wouldnt need thymeleaf right?
I really think that I'm having some kind of architectural misunderstanding and would appreciate it if I could get it cleared up.
Thank you in advance

Spring 4 vs Grails - Open Source Plugins

I have used spring 3 but not sure what is the equivalent of a grails plugin. And now need to suggest a stack for a new app. Looking at grails it seems to be great for making data base models and has a lot of plugins. but it seems its more expensive at runtime.
So my question is that is there a equal or better repo of spring for every little thing you can need like facebook login or other social actions, ajax upload, joda etc or is this what we call a dependency and some code from a blog/ stack?
Is there any repo of small reusable code like we have on grails plug ins for regular spring mvc projects?
I know that your question is about pure spring alternatives, but I would honestly recommend just using Grails. I've done projects in both stacks. If you want to get rid of the configuration headaches and get started quickly on a new project while staying within the Spring stack, it is the way to go. It is a great framework and some of my employers have many production Grails applications supporting thousands of customers.
You can also upgrade to Grails 3 when it comes out next year and take advantage of the leaner code they provide in it due to Spring Boot!
You may need to check into Spring Boot. It does not provide a full stack framework, but it is hiding much of the extra coding you may need to do for a spring application. There are some new projects that enable you to get the benefits of spring boot. Check the below projects:
1- http://jhipster.github.io/ , use it if you need to make SPA with AngularJS also have commands to generate Entities for you using Yeoman
2- http://lightadmin.org/ , use it if you want to create CRUD pages based on Spring Data Entities
For both, you may have to use Spring Data and maybe even Spring Data REST. These may be helpful too.

Spring MVC 3 and Ajax library advice

I'm developing a webapp with Hibernate+Spring 3 (Spring MVC, JSP): I'd like to create some divs with AJAX style (i.e. no need to refresh all the page, independent update of each div).
I'd like a good advice about which AJAX library to use (in conjunction with Spring 3 MVC + JSP) and, if possible, where to find some code snippets.
I know very little of AJAX libraries, JSONs and how to integrate them, but I have good knowledge of Javascript and Spring (and how callbacks work). I'd like to write as less code as possible, particularly in the jsps.
My Webapp will display an updated (every 5 minutes) POJO in a div and perform some operations between different domain objects in the other div when user press a button.
This is correct use JQuery
Here
http://blog.springsource.com/2010/01/25/ajax-simplifications-in-spring-3-0/
you can find working examples to use Jquery+JSON+Spring MVC.
and this question can help you with server side configuration:
JQuery, Spring MVC #RequestBody and JSON - making it work together
I would suggest jQuery. It is very easy to use and has very good ajax support.
In addition to that it has quite a lot of plugins and components.

DOJO with spring framework

I am new to Spring as well as Dojo. I need to use Dojo with one of my mvc project in Spring 3.0
I came accross below link which talks about using spring-js with Dojo.spring-js part of spring framework?
http://static.springsource.org/spring-webflow/docs/2.0.x/reference/html/ch11.html
I could not really follow that link, is there any step by step tutorial which will show me how to use dojo with spring framework 3.0 ?
I need to start with simple things with Dojo like client side validation of forms.
Thanks in advance!
This is a tough question to answer, because it turns out you don't really need to worry about how Dojo and Spring interact. Your client and your back end server are completely unrelated until you decide to send data back & forth.
So for dojo, you probably want to look at how to use some of the form validation. Take a look at this link for some help on that:
http://o.dojotoolkit.org/book/dojo-book-0-9/part-2-dijit/form-validation-specialized-input
Once you have some validation in place, your form can use the normal form post to post your data to the server, same as how you would do it without javascript.
On the other hand, if you want to add some nice Ajax to your application, take a look at this link which explains how to implement Jackson marshalling/unmarshalling to send JSON data to Spring & handle responses correctly.
http://blog.springsource.com/2010/01/25/ajax-simplifications-in-spring-3-0/
Spring Roo uses Dojo, so you can create a Roo Project and have a look like they did it.
For Spring, You can follow this tutorial (Its the most compact and covers all basics):
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/spring/index.htm
And for Dojo The best tutorial is at: http://dojotoolkit.org/features/desktop
(in Create Beautiful User Interfaces subheading youll find all the APIs and their examples)
Its the way I learnt it. :)
Cheers

Add Ajax Support to Spring MVC

I would like to add ajax to an existing spring mvc 2.5 webapps. But i dont know where to start.
I think spring does not support ajax integration.
Does someone know how can I accomplish this? I was thinking that my ajaxrequest should be catch by the controller interface but I dont know where to start.
I dont want to use any ajax library at this point but just plain old ajax approach
Kindly send me links or tutorials if what I am thinking is possible please
Spring MVC does not provide out of the box Ajax support. However it provides suitable extension points through its template based design to enable Ajax support very easily. Still you can implement it using jquery library.
