Sure. In a "normal" non-Ajax world you still need to have one action that processes requests. Basically, a front controller. Then you do in-server forward to an actual action that serves the request, and it forwards to a JSP page to display a view. In this case either all requests should be POSTs to hide parameters, or you need to do a redirect to a view to hide them (see second option). You can go with a more elaborate path to avoid problems with Back button and implicit resubmits on page refresh. In this case you accept an initial request, no matter GET or POST. Then you redirect to a particular action processing the request. It changes the application state and saves it in the session. Then you redirect to the same front action. It pulls application state from the session and forwards to a view, corresponding to the state. How front action knows that this time it should render a view instead of forwarding to processing action? Simple. The redirect request (1) has GET type and (2) is empty, that is, no parameters. The third option known to me is using Ajax and updating page fragments without reloading the whole page.
