Overriding the browser language setting?

[Kurt Overberg <ku...@hotdogrecords.com>]

Hi there all!  I'm trying to override the default struts/tomcat code that 
chooses an ApplicationResources.properties file based on the user's browser 
language setting.  I'd like to manage which language to serve up on my own (or 
based on an item in the user's session).  Does anyone have any pointers on how 
to do this?  Normally I would bash my head against an issue like this for weeks 
and weeks before finally posting, but in this case, its an emergency and time is 
short.  Thank you for any and all help any of you incredibly talented and 
intelligent people could provide.

/kurt

One solution would be to map a Filter to whichever URLs you wish to 
override the browser settings. In the Filter wrap the request, using a 
sub-class of javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequestWrapper, before 
passing the request to the rest of the chain.
In your wrapper sub-class override the methods getLocale() and 
getLocales() and you should be set.
