spring-json view 0.1 final released

Spring json-view adds JavaScript Object Notation (json) support to Spring-MVC.

Basically, it is an implementation of an AbstractView. It adds a Spring BindingResult, Field- and GlobalErrors (errorhandling), executes validations and
PropertyEditors to convert propertyvalues to a display string. But it also
provides some useful features to serve Ajax-Frameworks, for example prototype
like the Error Handling. And of course it transforms the model to a Json
String.

For furher information see the documentation
New Eatures:
ExceptionHandling Support added.

* The exceptionhandling is realized by an implemention of an HandlerExceptionResolver: The JsonExceptionResolver.
