RE: Locale object in session

["Esbrook, Scott" <Sc...@compuware.com>]

Tarek,

I also have this requirement (no use of Session objects), and following
Craig's suggestions I had the same problem you did. It stems from the
following:

in class org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils method 
    retrieveUserLocale(PageContext pageContext, String locale) {
        if (locale == null)
            locale = Globals.LOCALE_KEY;
        Locale userLocale = (Locale) pageContext.getAttribute(locale,
PageContext.SESSION_SCOPE);
        if (userLocale == null)
            userLocale = defaultLocale;
        return userLocale;
    }

throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: can't access SESSION_SCOPE
without an HttpSession
	at
org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.getAttribute(PageContextImpl.java:
217)
	at
org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils.retrieveUserLocale(RequestUtils.java:878
)
	<snip>

I compiled a version of Struts locally (v 1.1 rc1), and changed the method
as follows:

retrieveUserLocale(PageContext pageContext, String locale) {
<snip>
        Locale userLocale = (Locale) pageContext.getRequest().getLocale();
<snip>
    }

This is working for me so far, though I do not make use of all the features
of Struts (ie, Validator, transaction tokens, Tiles, etc.). Hope this helps.

Scott

Thanks for the help.

I still get a "can&#39;t access SESSION_SCOPE without an HttpSession:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: can't access SESSION_SCOPE without an
HttpSession" exception.

I think the <bean:message> tag is the cause of this exception. I tried
looking in the reference, and I cannot find a way of making this tag search
for the Locale object in the session.

Please help.

Thanks

You'll need to do several things:

* Set the "locale" servlet init parameter (on the controller servlet)
  to "false".

* At the top of each JSP page, be sure to include:

    <%@ page session="false" %>

  so that JSP won't create a session for you

* If you use the <html:html> tag, use a locale="false" attribute
  there as well.
