Making the View Layer Presentable
With the introduction of Ajax and the improved capabilities of web browsers, the view layer of today's web applications are becoming increasingly complex. In a Java application, this can make the JSP layer a brittle integration point that both presentation and application developers look to avoid.

In this session you'll learn how to best separate your application and presentation code, how to structure your view layer to support rich applications and tips to help presentation layer developers work better on the server side.
