    class BookController {    def list() {
            [books: Book.list(params)]
        }    def show() {
            [book: Book.get(params.id)]
        }
    }

    <g:form action="show">
        Login: <input name="login" type="text" />
        <g:submitToRemote url="[action: 'show']" update="updateMe" />
    </g:form><div id="updateMe">this div will be updated with the form submit response</div>
