Struts2 Internationalization

[hoss den]

Hello guys, and sorry for my bad english.

I have a web application that need to be internationalized in Struts2. I'm new in Struts2.

In Struts I have no problems with it, because my LocaleAction does everything for me and puts the Globale.LOCALE_KEY in session for the future use.

My LocaleAction from Struts:

@Override
    public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
            ActionForm form,
            HttpServletRequest request,
            HttpServletResponse response)
            throws Exception {

        HttpSession session = request.getSession();
        Locale locale = getLocale(request);

        String language = null;
        String country = null;

        try {
            language = (String) PropertyUtils.getSimpleProperty(form, "language");
            country = (String) PropertyUtils.getSimpleProperty(form, "country");

        } catch (Exception e) {
            log.error(e.getMessage(), e);
        }

        if ((language != null && language.length() > 0)
                && (country != null && country.length() > 0)) {
            locale = new java.util.Locale(language, country);
        } else if (language != null && language.length() > 0) {
            locale = new java.util.Locale(language, "");
        }

        session.setAttribute(Globals.LOCALE_KEY, locale);

        return mapping.findForward("success");
    }

But in Struts2 there is a big problem with this, and I don't know how to handle it, after I choose the language I need (ex: French), Action changes it, but if I go to another page, the locales resets to it's default (ex: English).

In Struts2 I am trying to do something like in Struts, but without success, this is my code:

public HttpServletRequest request;
    public String language;
    public String country;

    @Override
    public String execute() throws Exception {

        HttpSession session = request.getSession();
        Locale locale = getLocale();

        if ((language != null && language.length() > 0) && (country != null && country.length() > 0)) {

            locale = new java.util.Locale(language, country);

        } else if (language != null && language.length() > 0) {

            locale = new java.util.Locale(language, "");
        }

        session.setAttribute(Globals.LOCALE_KEY, locale);

        return SUCCESS;
    }

    public String getCountry() {
        return country;
    }

    public void setCountry(String country) {
        this.country = country;
    }

    public String getLanguage() {
        return language;
    }

    public void setLanguage(String language) {
        this.language = language;
    }

    public void setServletRequest(HttpServletRequest request) {
        this.request = request;
    }

I need a little help please

Hello hoss,

I'm new to Struts2 myself, but maybe I can help. The default session key under which the I18n Interceptor looks up the current Locale is WW_TRANS_I18N_LOCALE (I18N Javadoc).

So you have to either change

session.setAttribute(Globals.LOCALE_KEY, locale);

to

session.setAttribute("WW_TRANS_I18N_LOCALE", locale);

or

you have change the attribute name under which the I18N Interceptor stores the Locale to Globals.LOCALE_KEY.

Best regards
Dejan
