Using Angular for your application GUI with Spring Web Services behind it combines the power of Spring and dependency injection with the single-page GUI framework of Angular. Using Angular with AJAX eliminates the page routing that a Spring MVC application forces on the application, but we can still use the Spring MVC application framework to provide a REST web service for that AJAX application.
The obstacle during development is the "same-origin" policy that restricts the Angular application to communicate with the same server it was loaded from. The solution is to put the projects side-by-side in the Spring Tool Suite (STS) and run them side-by-side in the Pivotal TC server.
