Spring MVC is not inherently a component-oriented framework, like you seem to want. Some different approaches that might suit you

  • Client-side aggregation. Load your different "components" (left, right) using AJAX
  • Using some more template/component-oriented rendering framework. I like Apache Tiles and breaking out logic in Preparers (analogous to Controllers in Tiles). Or you can use JSF 2. I wrote a bootstrap/tutorial on Spring MVC 3 and JSF 2 a while back that might be interesting for you.
  • Go full-on with a component-oriented framework like JSF 2, Tapestry or Wicket.

There are various ways to implement this. What are your exact requirements? You can try:

  1. Portlets - render two portlets, each is rendered separately. Probably an overkill if this is needed only in this one place.

  2. AJAX - Render an empty page first and fetch both views separately using AJAX. See $.load().

  3. <iframe/> - embed iframes with two different target URLs.

  4. Use component-oriented framework (I personally like Wicket).

None of these approaches are tied Spring MVC or even Java.
