The context:component-scan registers the PersonController, which is defined
in the org.springbyexample.web.servlet.mvc package. The first import configures the JPA configuration
for managing a person and the second configures Spring MVC.

This standard Spring MVC configuration file creates handlers, configures Tiles, and also internationalization.
The mvc:annotation-driven element registers a DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping
and AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter. It also sets up type converters and
a Bean Validation (JSR-303) validator (if JSR-303 library is present on the classpath).
The mvc:view-controller element sets an explicit mapping to the static index page.
The tilesConfigurer bean configures tiles and
dynamicTilesViewResolver takes the url of a request and uses it for the body in a Tiles template.
The last three beans configure locale and messsage resource handling. The LocaleChangeInterceptor is registered
as an interceptor with the default handler by the surrounding mvc:interceptors element.
