Call a url from jquery without ajax in spring mvc

Question

Am using spring mvc and jquery. I want to call a controller method from jsp on change of select tag. I did this using ajax now everything works fine.

But i wish to know is it possible in jquery to call a controller method (Or to hit a url as a normal url hit) without ajax.

Am facing some problem using ajax.

So if there is any better way please help me.

yes! you can use `window.location.href = "here your url"` like this: `window.location.href = document.getElementById('#yourselect').value` — Jai, Dec 06 '13 at 06:36
You can make a call [synchronously](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/133310/how-can-i-get-jquery-to-perform-a-synchronous-rather-than-asynchronous-ajax-re), but why? What problem(s) are you having with AJAX? — Elliott Frisch, Dec 06 '13 at 06:39
Other than JQuery AJAX, You could try $.get() or $.Post() depending upon your request. — Tech Mahesh, Dec 06 '13 at 07:25
@TechMahesh, `$.get` and `$.post` are nothing but shorthands for `$.ajax`. — Michał Rybak, Dec 06 '13 at 08:06

I want to call a controller method from jsp

You can't do this from jsp, because jsp will compile in servlet on server and this servlet will return an html page to client. So you can do this from html not from jsp.

But i wish to know is it possible in jquery to call a controller method (Or to hit a url as a normal url hit) without ajax.

You can reload your page(for example with form submission). Synchronous ajax call will do the same effect(your page will be blocked until you will not receive the data). This is bad variant. Use normal async call and refresh your view when receive the data instead.

    $.post(remote_url, { param1: value1, param2: value2 }, function(data) { 
       // Refresh view with data
    });
