Locale="true" in html:html tag

[Joe Hertz <jh...@speakeasy.net>]

This has been deprecated in 1.2.

My internationalized pages appear not to need this at all with 1.2. The
Locale seems to get detected from the browser just fine without it.

Since, I never got around to serious internationalization while I was
using 1.1, I thought this was necessary for the jsp page to auto-select
it's locale. Am I misunderstanding what the purpose of locale="true"
was? 

If not, how have things changed? Is it now assumed to be the default
unless a lang specific lang parameter is specified in the html:html tag
or something? 

Basically it seems like it just went away, and now the functionality it
provided now shows up when it's needed "as if by magic", which I'm sure
ain't so. :-)

What exactly has changed here? I'm kind of curious (and okay, somewhat
suspicious) now...

TIA

-Joe

No conspiracies here :-).  The deprecation comment about the "locale" 
attribute explains what is going on, and the description of the "lang" 
attribute describes the algorithm that is used.

This page, like all the rest of the Struts documentation, is also 
available locally if you unpack (and perhaps deploy on a server) the 
struts-documentation.war webapp.
