Question

I want to know the advantages of using Struts2-jQuery plug-in ?? What is its use ?? Also some support from where to study as I did not find any tutorials.

Answer 1

Advantages - that strictly depends on your use. If you don't want to write the jquery code yourself, then the plugin gives handful of pre-written features to use.

I've been using it for more than 2 years now and in my case, I write custom jquery too where-ever required, since it's not a good style to re-invent the wheel. So I use the plugin where it is helpful and where it can't be applied directly or with minor tweaks. At times, I prefer writing my own jquery.

Here are some links from where you can start :
