All '/resources' URLs are resolved by Spring JavaScript's the ResourceServlet configured in the web.xml.
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="<c:url value="/resources/dijit/themes/tundra/tundra.css" />" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="<c:url value="/resources/dojo/dojo.js" />"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<c:url value="/resources/spring/Spring.js" />"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<c:url value="/resources/spring/Spring-Dojo.js" />"></script>
The create link goes to '/person.html' which is mapped to the person flow. The search link still goes through the PersonController.
Both the create and search links are secured so when the login and logout pages are rendered, these links aren't displayed until
the user logs in.

The edit link goes to the person flow (ex: '/person.html?id=1'). The flow will look up the person record based on the id request parameter.

The form:form element just needs to have it's modelAttribute set to correspond to where the flow put
the Person instance. The save and cancel buttons specify which event id they are associated with for this step in the flow.
This value should match the flow's transition element's on attribute. Just for an example,
Spring JavaScript is being used to submit the save button. It isn't really necessary for the example, but it could specify to have just
a div on the page update. Like if there was a messages div, this JavaScript, Spring.remoting.submitForm('save', 'person', {fragments:'messages'}); return false;
could be used to display success or failure messages without updating the entire page.
