How to set the Locale for Tag use ?

[karlito31]

Hi All,

from my requirement I don't have to use the Locale from the request, but using a business rule.

So I have to use a application-defined Locale for I18N, using the Spring taglib.

But in the source code I found (TagMessageI18N.java):

return messageSource.getMessage(resolvedMessage, getRequestContext().getLocale());

How can I set the Locale in the RequestContext ? As I understand the requestContext harvests the Locale from the request, exactly the opposite I want to perform.

Thank you for your help.

There is a interceptor which can switch the Locale (conveniently named LocaleChangeInterceptor). The current implementation uses a property on the request to switch the Locale. But you can ofcourse make your own implementation which uses your Business Rule(s).

Hmm just looking a bit further, you can also create a LocalResolver (there is already an abstract class) which you can register in your application context, that in combination with the default LocaleChangeInterceptor will switch your locale.

one more question about LocaleResolver.

(warning, I'm a newbie)

Where do I need to declare my new implementation of LocaleResolver ?

TIA.

In your applicationContext with the other beans. You have to name it localeResolver and that should do the trick.
