Advice on using MVC Spring framework with client side view

Question

I wanted some tips regarding the following problem, from the Java experts in this forum:

• I am currently working on a web application with lot of SQL transactions based on MVC architecture. Is is possible to have the view completely developed and hosted at the client side, with the controller and model at the server?
• The idea is to represent data in a way desired by end users. So, the View is developed (adhering to some defined standards) by the end users itself, where the controller and model remains the same.

I think it is possible with the MVC Spring framework, but don't know how exactly.

Thanks.
