RE: Clay - how to set locale Parameter for f:view in html/xml views?

[Torsten Krah <tk...@fachschaft.imn.htwk-leipzig.de>]

Still need to create the issue - but i've got an idea for a workaround.
How about a viewhandler, which uses a custom session bean which holds
the locale - and which return this one when "calculateLocale" is called?

Something like this:

public Locale calculateLocale(FacesContext facesContext) {
    LanguageBean neededBean
        = (LanguageBean) facesContext.getApplication()
          .getVariableResolver().resolveVariable(facesContext,
"language");
    if(neededBean != null) {
      log.info("current locale -> " + neededBean.getCurrentLanguage());
      return neededBean.getCurrentLocale();
    }
    log.info("current locale -> " + base.calculateLocale(facesContext));
    return base.calculateLocale(facesContext);
  }

Any drawbacks of this workaround?

RE: Clay - how to set locale Parameter for f:view in html/xml views?

[Torsten Krah <tk...@fachschaft.imn.htwk-leipzig.de>]

Hi again - did not create the issue yet ( yeah should really do this ),
but saw the file AssignViewRootCommand.java, which mentioned the locale.
Is it already possible yet, to support the locale UIViewRoot attribute?

If yes, how to to so in clay templates?

kind regards

Torsten
