## Class CookieThemeResolver

- java.lang.Object
- - org.springframework.web.util.CookieGenerator
  - - org.springframework.web.servlet.theme.CookieThemeResolver

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ThemeResolver

      public class CookieThemeResolver
      extends CookieGenerator
      implements ThemeResolver

  Implementation of ThemeResolver that uses a cookie sent back to the user in case of a custom setting, with a fallback to the default theme. This is particularly useful for stateless applications without user sessions.

  Custom controllers can thus override the user's theme by calling `setThemeName`, e.g. responding to a certain theme change request.
