Did anyone every get this to work? I was thiiiiiiis close but no cigar.

The problem is that internally greybox uses a page, loader_frame.html, to do
most of the work. This page is found with other 'static' files, like css and
gif, in a directory you specify in the GB_ROOT_DIR variable. When you create
a link that opens a Greybox it calls that page passing it the url you want
to open.

The problem of course is that Spring MVC wants to manage the
loader_frame.html url because Spring manages all *.html urls. So I made
myself an empty controller, LoaderFrameController, that redirects to
loaderFrame.jsp which is nothing more than the old loader_frame.html. And I
also made an entry in decorators.xml so that page wouldn't be decorated. I
figured I might have to change the .js so it finds the images and .css but
that's all ...

But it doesn't work. No error, just doesn't load the page. At this point,
after trying unsuccessfully to get both thickbox and greybox to work with
Appfuse, I think I am going to give up and just use normal pop-ups. It might
be as simple as telling Spring MVC not to manage loader_frame.html. Or
changing loader_frame.html to loader_frame.htm (I already tried this ...
doesn't work either. It seems Spring MVC is also managing *.htm. And it
ignored the line I put in decorators.xml no not decorate
/scripts/greybox_static/loading_frame.htm)

If anyone has successfully used Thickbox or Greybox with Appfuse (Spring
MVC) I'd be interested in knowing how you did it. Otherwise, it looks like
window.open for me!
