fmt+struts headaches.
hey all,
I'm playing around and trying to get the jstl
internationalization tags working with struts. It's proving
a bit more of a headache than I'd like.
I made the usual changes and eventually figured out that the
1.0.0 release (included in the struts 1.1 contrib dir) is
seriously broken.
Now I'm trying to work out the best way to allow users to
change locale. Right now I've had to put a
<fmt:setLocale
value='${sessionScope["org.apache.struts.action.LOCALE"]}'/
>
at the top of every jsp page using fmt tags otherwise the
fmt tags do not pick up on locale changes.
(I've tried using
session.setAttribute(Config.FMT_LOCALE, locale);
in the action where I normally change locale but that didn't
work (it was suggested in the archives somewhere.)
Does anyone know how I can change the fmt locale as part of
an action (ie not using the fmt tags)?
ALSO,
i had to change the URI of the fmt tag to be "http://
java.sun.com/jstl/fmt" before it would work properly.
Are there any other tag libraries with such a "feature"?

Re: Possible Bug in transform tag?

I could swear this popped up on the list not too long ago, but I can't locate
the thread. Anyway, I seem to remember briefly looking at the transform code and
being left with the impression that it required <x:param> sub-elements to be
direct children of <x:transform>. I could be way off though...

Hm, could be. Okay, what about updating the localization context as well (still
untested):
import javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.Config;
import javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.LocalizationContext;
...
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
Locale locale = (Locale)session.getAttribute(Globals.LOCALE_KEY);
if (locale == null) {
locale = request.getLocale();
}
Config.set(session, Config.FMT_LOCALE, locale);
LocalizationContext locCtx =
(LocalizationContext)Config.get(session, Config.FMT_LOCALIZATION_CONTEXT);
if (locCtx == null) {
// assume there's at least a "global" loc ctx
locCtx = (LocalizationContext)Config.get(session.getServletContext(),
Config.FMT_LOCALIZATION_CONTEXT);
}
Locale locCtxLocale = locCtx.getLocale();
if ((locCtxLocale == null) || (!locCtxLocale.equals(locale))) {
locCtx = new LocalizationContext(locCtx.getResourceBundle(), locale);
Config.set(session, Config.FMT_LOCALIZATION_CONTEXT, locCtx);
}

hmmm, I thought I'd better just say that it appears to be
working fine for us however.
we've got no clumsy bundle or locale tags in our jsp pages
anymore and we can change language quite happily using a
struts action.
That Config thing should really be added to the Struts
documentation though. It's not at all clear.
thanks again,

I tried this solution and it didn't work. I took a quick look at the
taglibs code and it looks at first glance like the FMT_LOCALE attribute
is only respected with a <fmt:message> tag is enclosed in a <fmt:bundle>
tag. Is that right?

will that work testing a container not connected to the
internet though? I'd hate to be sitting on the train with
my laptop getting "cannot download taglib" type errors.

As of JSP 1.2, there's really no need for separate tld files and <taglib>
entries in web.xml - at least for packaged taglibs like Struts and JSTL. Just
use the following directive in your JSP:
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>

aaah. many thanks. that looks exactly like what i want.

Re: fmt+struts headaches.

You might try using a servlet filter to keep the locales in sync:
import javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.Config;
...
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
Locale locale = (Locale)session.getAttribute(Globals.LOCALE_KEY);
if (locale == null) {
locale = request.getLocale();
}
Config.set(session, Config.FMT_LOCALE, locale);
Obviously, you can use the Config class from action code as well. Depending on
what type of app server you're using, you'll want a different version of JSTL,
which means different taglib URIs:
JSP 1.2 / JSTL 1.0 (e.g. Tomcat 4):
http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt
JSP 2.0 / JSTL 1.1 (e.g. Tomcat 5):
http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt
