Spring Javascript Locale

[batzee]

Hi *,

I have a locale problem with spring javascript and the DateTextBox decoration. This is my JSP code:

<label for="startDate"><fmt:message key="options-top.searchoptions.from" /></label><br/>
<form:input path="startDate" id="startDate" />
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="dijit.byId('startDate').focus();">
<img src="<c:url value="/images/calendar_icon.gif" />" alt="Calendar" />
</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
Spring.addDecoration(new Spring.ElementDecoration({
	elementId : 'startDate', 
	widgetType : 'dijit.form.DateTextBox', 
	widgetAttrs : {
		required : true,
		datePattern : 'yyyy-MM-dd',
		staticDisplay: true
	}
}));
</script>

My problem: The Calendar Popup is always rendered in German (I suppose that's because I use a German Firefox), regardless of the page's locale.

I tried the following to set DOJO's locale, but it does not work:

 	<bean id="tilesViewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver">
		<property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2.TilesView" />
		<property name="requestContextAttribute" value="rc" />
	</bean>

	<script type="text/javascript">
	var djConfig={
		locale: '${rc.locale.language}'
	};
	</script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="<c:url value="/resources/dojo/dojo.js" />" ></script>

OK I got it now ....

My approach was almost correct, I just forgot to set parseOnLoad=true:

	<script type="text/javascript">
	var djConfig={
		locale: '${rc.locale.language}',
		parseOnLoad: true
	};
	</script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="<c:url value="/resources/dojo/dojo.js" />" ></script>

I think that for convenience spring-javascript should be able to do this automatically. Should I file a request for enhancement ?

Yes, I know it is possible to change the browser's preferred locale. But unfortunately it's impossible to query this preference from Javascript (or at least there is no possibility that I know of). This is why I need to include the request's locale as javascript variable "djConfig" in the JSP page, as shown above.
