title: Is there any way to achieve partial JSP rendering in Spring MVC without using AJAX or Tiles
body: <p>I am wondering whether there is any way to achieve partial JSP rendering in Spring 3 MVC without using AJAX or Tiles?</p>
  
  <p>My web application consists of several JSP pages which are combined together using the <code>&lt;%@ include file="a.jsp"/&gt;</code> directive. What I want is not to load all the data from the server in every request. I know that this is possible with Ajax or Tiles but that requires major refactoring of the application.</p>
  
  <p>If there is such an alternative, how will it behave in terms of performance compared with the standard Ajax approach? </p>
