how easy it was to refactor his
Java-Spring Sudoku solver to use Ajax.
I’ve added Ajax goodness to my little Spring-powered Sudoku solver. And it was a total snack. You can double click on individual cells to solve just that square, or use the “Solve” button to solve the whole puzzle. You could probably write a better one entirely in Javascript (other people have), but it does serve as a great example of using Spring IoC, AOP, ORM, and Unit testing support … Check it out (source available here soon).

I’m not 100% convinced that sudoku solver is correct. Take the following solution I generated by hitting Get A Puzzle then Solve:
Not convinced it’s adhering to the “digits must be unique in each row, cell and column” rule — and if it’s not adhering to *that*, which is almost the only rule of Sudoku, how can one call it a Sudoku solver?
