Spring 3 MVC: Themes in Spring-Tutorial with Example

by · October 7, 2010

Welcome to Part 6 of Spring 3.0 MVC Series. In previous article we saw how to add Internationalization i18n and Localization L10n support to Spring 3.0 based web application. We used LocaleChangeInterceptor to intercept the change in locale and ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource class to add message resources properties. In this part we will see how to add Themes in Spring MVC. We will create three different themes and add functionality in our HelloWorldSpring project for user to select any of the available theme. Once user selects a theme, we can save it in cookies so that it can be persisted between different sessions. [sc:SpringMVC_Tutorials]

Introduction to Themes in Spring MVC

A theme is a collection of static resources, typically style sheets and images, that affect the visual style of the application. We can apply Spring Web MVC framework themes to set the overall look-and-feel of application, thereby enhancing user experience. To use themes in your web application, you must set up an implementation of the org.springframework.ui.context.ThemeSource interface. The WebApplicationContext interface extends ThemeSource but delegates its responsibilities to a dedicated implementation. By default the delegate will be an org.springframework.ui.context.support.ResourceBundleThemeSource implementation that loads properties files from the root of the classpath. To use a custom ThemeSource implementation or to configure the base name prefix of the ResourceBundleThemeSource, you can register a bean in the application context with the reserved name themeSource. The web application context automatically detects a bean with that name and uses it. When using the ResourceBundleThemeSource, a theme is defined in a simple properties file. The properties file lists the resources that make up the theme. Here is an example:

Our Goal

Our goal is to change the Hello World Spring 3 MVC and add Theme support to it. User will have option to select theme from 3 predefined themes (default, black and blue). spring-mvc-theme-demo

Adding Theme support to Spring 3 MVC

Let us configure our Spring 3 MVC application to add Theme support. For this we will add following code into spring-servlet.xml file. File: WebContent/WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml
<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>

Code language: HTML, XML (xml)
In the above configuration, first we have added themeSource bean. Notice that this bean is an instance of class ResourceBundleThemeSource and we also have specified a property basenamePrefix with value “theme-“. ResourceBundleThemeSource class will load the property files containing theme definition starting with prefix “theme-“. Thus, if we have defined 3 new themes in our project (default, black and blue) then we will create 3 property files while will have certain configuration properties. Also these files will be placed under the project classpath. Next, we defined an interceptor bean themeChangeInterceptor which is an instance of class org.springframework.web.servlet.theme.ThemeChangeInterceptor. Also note here that we have specified a property paramName with value theme. This interceptor is invoked whenever a request is made with parameter “theme” with different values. Once the themeChangeInterceptor intercepts the change in the theme, the changes are then stored in the cookies using class org.springframework.web.servlet.theme.CookieThemeResolver. We have configured this class in our spring-servlet.xml configuration file. Also note that we have specified default theme name with this bean. Now create following properties files in resources/ folder of the project. spring-mvc-theme-directory-structure File: resources/theme-default.properties
css=themes/default.css

Code language: HTML, XML (xml)
File: resources/theme-blue.properties
css=themes/blue.css

Code language: HTML, XML (xml)
File: resources/theme-black.properties
css=themes/black.css

Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

CSS Stylesheet for different Themes

Let us create 3 CSS stylesheet which will act as the theme files for our project. Create following CSS files in WebContent/themes folder. File: WebContent/themes/default.css
body {
    background-color: white;
    color: black;
}

Code language: CSS (css)
File: WebContent/themes/blue.css
body {
	background-color: #DBF5FF;
	color: #007AAB;
}

Code language: CSS (css)
File: WebContent/themes/black.css
body {
	background-color: #888;
	color: white;
}

Code language: CSS (css)

JSP View changes

We are almost done with the changes and last bit that is remaining is to add a functionality for user to select the theme from UI. For this we will change the header.jsp file and add 3 links with different themes. User can click on any of this link and change the theme of webapplication. File: WebContent/WEB-INF/jsp/header.jsp
<%@taglib uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags" prefix="spring"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c"%>


<h3><spring:message code="label.title"/></h3>

<span style="float: right">
    <a href="?lang=en">en</a> 
    | 
    <a href="?lang=de">de</a>
</span>


<span style="float: left">
    <a href="?theme=default">def</a> 
    | 
    <a href="?theme=black">blk</a>
    | 
    <a href="?theme=blue">blu</a>
</span>

Code language: HTML, XML (xml)
Notice that in above JSP changes we created 3 links with argument “?theme=”. Thus whenever user will click these links, a new parameter will be passed in the request with the appropriate theme. The request interceptor of Spring will fetch this value and change the theme accordingly.

That’s All Folks

That’s pretty much it :) We just added Theme support to our demo Spring 3.0 MVC application. All you have to do is just execute the app in Eclipse. Press Alt + Shift + X, R. spring-mvc-theme-demo

    This article works perfectly as long as you add the below two changes in the layout.jsp

    1) Add the line: at the top of the layout.jsp file
    2) Add the line: <link rel="stylesheet" href='’ type=”text/css”> just before your tag ends. ie., just before

    Have you also worked on Spring Web Flow? I was curious to learn that in similar fashion you explained MVC. Do you know any resources I can look at?

    Thanks for your post. I have a quick question about css file. I have a project, which is using css file for styles and background images, after providing static content path in my spring servlet like:

    I am able to access all images and static files in jsp using like <img src="”, but there is some background images path defined in my css. Can you please advise how to give a path in css about images since css file doesn’t understand spring tags.

      @Srini: I understand thats always been a pain to include background-image path in a CSS file. I’m afraid there is no direct way of doing this, except for defining that particular style (which has background image) within your JSP file. So for example:

      Below is my JSP file

      //some.jsp
...
<style>
.someclass {
      background-image: url('${some_css_path}');
}
</style>


      So basically defined all of the styles of styleclass .someclass within your .CSS file and than just define background-image within your JSP. As much as I know thats the only way of doing it. Let me know if you figure out more normal way of doing this.

I meant now we have default,black and blue as our themes but what happen if some one pass theme=red manually? I got an exception when trying this.

    Hi,
    Great tutorial and works very well. I want to use this example in conjunction with REST and hence, I had to make slight changes, such as, replacing

    <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>

    with

    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>

    in servlet-mapping section in the web.xml file and making the necessary updates by removing the .html extensions in the appropriate java & jsp files. I’ve been trying to solve the following issue for several days now and being looking up forums, etc., but have found no solution as to why I get the following error:

    WARN http-apr-8080-exec-6 (DispatcherServlet.java:947) – No mapping found for HTTP request with URI /Spring3MVC/themes/default.css in DispatcherServlet with name ‘spring’.

    Hi Viral Patel:

    I have fixed the mapping problem by adding

    <mvc:default-servlet-handler />

    However, a new problem has arisen. I now get “HTTP Status 405 – Request method ‘GET’ not supported” browser error message if I use REST controller, but do NOT get this message and all works fine if I do NOT use REST at all. That is, if I run the same application without REST upon start up, it works, but if I run the program again using REST and the REST controller returning the same ‘view’ name as the normal Spring Controller does, but because it went via REST it does NOT work! Is there something that I may have missed or could this be a bug a with Spring MVC core?

    Hi Viral! thanks a lot for this greats tuts!!! just fantastic!
    all tutorials are running without any errors! amazing!

    I have just one litte problem:
    I cant access my css and image files from the jsp’s…i added the images to the root, to the resource folder etc…but none of this helps
    i’ve also tried a lot of things like:

    in the spring-servlet.xml
    mvc:resources mapping=”/resources/**” location=”/resources/” />

    nothing solves the problem…

    have anybody an idea?
    thanks in advance!

    Viral, you forgot to mention the changes in layout.jsp

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="<spring:theme code="css"/>" type="text/css"/>

    some programs are not running success fully like i18,themes
    in themes add a link like:<link rel="stylesheet" href="” type=”text/css” /> in layout.jsp if it not works remove jar files and add new jar files .
    or else refer this site ex:http://www.devmanuals.com/tutorials/java/spring/spring3/mvc/Spring3-MVC-Themes.html

    The correction for layout.jsp should be

    <%@ 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>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<spring:theme code="css"/>">
<title><tiles:insertAttribute name="title" ignore="true" /></title>
</head>

    Hello Viral,

    I am facing issue with loading themes. The scenario is described below.
    The controller in the application have request mapping at class level and method level so the URL for a request is generally in the following format. “http://server:port/context/req_map_class/req_map_method.jsp”. When I try to switch the theme, the css url is of the format “http://server:port/context/req_map_class/theme/blue.css”, which is non-existent. The css is actually available “http://server:port/context/theme/blue.css”.

    Please advise.

    Thanks,
    Nitin

    Kindly provide jar files for above web application. it is very difficult to trial and error to get which version of JAR files suite for this application.
