In Listing 17-18, the new code is highlighted in bold. A <head> section is added in the view, and the
<spring:theme> tag is used to retrieve the styleSheet property from the theme's ResourceBundle, which
is the style sheet file standard.css. Finally, the link to the style sheet is added into the view.
After rebuilding and redeploying the application to the server, open the browser and point to the
contact list view's URL again (http://localhost:8080/ch17/contacts), and you will see that the style
defined in standard.css file was applied, as shown in Figure 17-8.

Using Spring MVC's theme support, you can easily add new themes or change the existing theme
within your application.
