Subclass of ActionServlet not registering correct locale...

[Jannik Nørgaard Steen <js...@digitalzone.dk>]

Hi,

We've created a subclass of the ActionServlet and are storing a locale object in the session under the
key Action.LOCALE_KEY. Apparently this has no effect on our rendered messages. 

Does anything special apply in regard to locale handling when you subclass the ActionServlet ??

Any hints appreciated..:)

Med venlig hilsen/Best Regards

Does the standard support for Locales not take care of your needs?  Set
the "locale" initialization parameter to "true", and the controller will
store a locale for you if there isn't one present.

Second, how are you actually storing the Locale?  Note the difference
between the following two statements:

	session.setAttribute("Action.LOCALE_KEY", locale);

	session.setAttribute(Action.LOCALE_KEY, locale);

The first one will not work correctly - the actual String constant that
Struts wants is the *value* of Action.LOCALE_KEY, which is
"org.apache.struts.action.LOCALE".  You need to use the second form.
