Where exactly do you define the following:

#dark theme properties file dark.properties
css=themes/dark.css
page.title=Welcome to Dark Theme
welcome.message=Hello Visitor!! Have a Good night!!

#bright theme properties file bright.properties
css=themes/bright.css
page.title=Welcome to Bright Theme
welcome.message=Hello Visitor!! Have a Good day!!

Thanks

@Suresh

You need to use the following tag declaration in your jsp:
<%@ taglib prefix=”spring” uri=”http://www.springframework.org/tags”%>

Refer http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/spring-framework-reference/html/spring.tld.html#spring.tld.theme

http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/spring-framework-reference/html/mvc.html#mvc-themeresolver

for information on some of your questions

Can you please clarify what the following snippet does in the jsp:
spring:theme code=”css”

Do i to need add tag (spring:theme)declaration in my JSP? if yes what to add?
Till Step 8 it was clear… i can see some disconnect after that.
It would be great if the you have provided some info on what the following beans does:

themeSource
themeResolver

how the app picks up the correct css file? How ‘theme’ is actually working for this sample app?
Thanks for your time!!
