On my main page (index.html) I have a list of some objects which have a category field for example. And on top of page I have element selecting category. So, what is best way to handle it like this: when changes selected category in - change a list of objects (view only objects with selected category). Can I make it using only Java+Spring+Thymeleaf or I have to use JavaScrypt or other tool also?

It is a bit different: they are trying to change the second select, based on option selected in first select. But I think it is still a way I would go, when I get to Recipe Site. Jquery is a solution I think, because after all exactly for things like this we use JavaScript: to add interactivity on one page.
