The form:form custom JSP tag is configured to post to the URL '/person/form.html', which based
on the ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping would map to the form method on the
PersonController configured to receive a post request. The form is bound to the 'person' model, which is the
default for the PersonController. The form:hidden custom JSP tag binds to the Person's id
and form:input is used to bind 'firstName' and 'lastName'.

The search displays all records in the person table and generates links to edit and delete a record. The fmt:message tag retrieves the local sensitive message based on the message resource key passed in.
