title: AJAX for Spring webflow and JSP
body: <p>I would like to add an JavaScript autocomplete functionality to a web form I am working on.  I'm using NetBeans 7.1, Spring Framework 3.0.6 and Webflow 2.3.  If possible, I would prefer to use JSP (rather than Tiles) if possible.</p>
  
  <p>If you could suggest an approach or some written guide for me to follow.  I already have a webflow for a five page form.  I feed that an autocomplete would make a fairly complex form more user friendly if I could add this functionality.  The AJAX needs to return an ID and name from the server in the first instance (presently page 1) and then validate whether a user entered already exists (possibly use an autocomplete again two pages later to avoid a duplicate database entry). </p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions for an approach and/or guide would be appreciated.</p>
