Using Config.set(session, Config.FMT_LOCALE, locale);
I have created a Struts action similar to one suggested by Kris
Schneider to change the current locale for both Struts and JSTL.
In the action after creating a locale based on user input I make the
following two calls:
// reset the Struts locale
session.setAttribute(Globals.LOCALE_KEY, locale);
// reset the JSTL locale
Config.set(session, Config.FMT_LOCALE, locale);
I then redirect to the page where I display some text based on the locale.
The Struts bean:message works perfectly - however, the JSTL fmt:message
does not work -- by the way, I do have the LocalizationContext pointing
to my ApplicationResources through the web.xml context-param.
Interestingly enough, if I do use <fmt:setLocale locale="ru"/> on the
before the <fmt:message key="foo"/> it works!
Does anyone have any ideas on why the Config.set(...) is not working?

Well, if it works, it works ;-). Anything bundled with Struts is likely to be a
flavor of Standard 1.0 because of the Struts-EL taglib. I have no idea what
version comes along for the ride, but the most recent is Standard 1.0.6. If
you're running in a JSP 2.0 environment, Struts-EL is irrelevent and you should
certainly use JSTL 1.1. If you still need JSP 1.2 compatibility, try replacing
the Standard JARs that come with Struts with Standard 1.0.6 and see if that
works. I've got a slightly more involved example app that works with Standard
1.0.6 and a Filter to set the locale if you want to look at some more code...

Yes, that's essentially what I was doing ... interestingly enough, I
solved the problem by updating to taglibs-standard 1.1.1. Before I was
using the jstl.jar and standard.jar included in Struts 1.2.1.

Strange, because the following seems to work:
web.xml:
--------
<web-app>
....
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.localizationContext</param-name>
<param-value>Messages</param-value>
</context-param>
....
</web-app>
WEB-INF/classes/Messages.properties:
------------------------------------
msg=Messages
WEB-INF/classes/Messages_ru.properties:
---------------------------------------
msg=Messages_ru
fmtlocale.jsp:
--------------
<%@ page contentType="text/plain" %>
<%@ page import="java.util.Locale" %>
<%@ page import="javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.Config" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" %>
<% Config.set(session, Config.FMT_LOCALE, new Locale("ru")); %>
msg: <fmt:message key="msg"/>
output:
-------
msg: Messages_ru
Is that basically the equivalent of what you're doing?
