Spring 3 - Themes are not working!

**tokhi** · Jul 16th, 2011, 01:21 AM

Hi,
I have build an MVC spring project using STS, and I have integrated tiles within this project.
Now I can't set any css template in my project. I'm not sure if I address the wrong url to my message.properties. please have a look:

app-context.xml

HTML Code:

<bean id="messageSource"
		class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
		<property name="basename" value="classpath:messages" />
		<property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8" />
	</bean>
<bean id="themeSource"
		class="org.springframework.ui.context.support.ResourceBundleThemeSource">
		<property name="basenamePrefix" value="theme-" />
	</bean>


	<!-- Theme Change Interceptor and Resolver definition -->
	<bean id="themeChangeInterceptor"
		class="org.springframework.web.servlet.theme.ThemeChangeInterceptor">
		<property name="paramName" value="theme" />
	</bean>
	<bean id="themeResolver"
		class="org.springframework.web.servlet.theme.CookieThemeResolver">
		<property name="defaultThemeName" value="default" />
	</bean>

	<bean id="handlerMapping"
		class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping">
		<property name="interceptors">
			<list>
				<ref bean="localeChangeInterceptor" />
				<ref bean="themeChangeInterceptor" />
			</list>
		</property>
	</bean>

theme-blue.properties

HTML Code:

css=themes/blue.css

I have also tried /themes/blue.css

theme-black.properties

HTML Code:

css=themes/black.css

layout.jsp

HTML Code:

<%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles" prefix="tiles"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags" prefix="spring"%>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<spring:theme code='css'/>" type="text/css"/>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title><tiles:insertAttribute name="title" ignore="true" /></title>
</head>
<body>
....
</body>
</html>

When I run the project, I can't see the css style. I also can't change the style from the user interface.
any idea?
Thanks.
Please see the attached snapshot (shows the project structure).

One thing more, the CSS themes re located in WEB-INF folder

/WEB-INF/themes/blue.css

if I address the path directly in my jsp file:

HTML Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/WEB-INF/themes/blue.css" type="text/css" />

nothing happens, and i'm not getting any warning.

anyone ??
