Interface ThemeResolver

public interface ThemeResolver

Interface for web-based theme resolution strategies that allows for both theme resolution via the request and theme selection via request and response. This interface allows for implementations based on session, cookies, etc. The default implementation is CookieThemeResolver, which uses cookie for theme resolution and selection. Note that this resolver is only responsible for determining the current theme name. The Theme instance for the resolved theme name must be looked up via ThemeRegistry interface. For example, the user could call ThemeFns.getThemeRegistry() to obtain the current theme registry, and then call themeRegistry.getTheme(themeName) to retrieve the corresponding Theme instance, if a theme with such name is previously registered.
