supported locales

[Otott Zsofia <zs...@rndsoft.hu>]

Hello, 

I saw that in the portlet.xml it is possible to entry supported locales. But I don't know which function returns it for me. Can anyone help me with this?

I think, the <supported-locale> from the portlet.xml file is not used at all. 
The supportedLocales field in 
org.apache.pluto.portalImpl.om.portlet.impl.PortletDefinitionImpl is never 
used (IMHO). And the getLocale/getLocales methods in 
org.apache.pluto.core.impl.PortletRequestImpl forward the call to the servlet 
request.

Addtionally, the getSupportedLocale method in the PortletDefinition is NOT in 
the interface, only in the portal class. (is this a bug???)

Apart from this, thanks a lot to all pluto developers!

regards,
Christof

Hello Ken,

Thank you for your reply, but it isn't really clear, that with the
getLocales method, I really get the supported locales, and not the locales
accepted by the clients. Because in javax.servlet.ServletRequest the
getLocales method : "Returns an Enumeration of Locale objects indicating, in
decreasing order starting with the preferred locale, the locales that are
acceptable to the client based on the Accept-Language header. If the client
request doesn't provide an Accept-Language header, this method returns an
Enumeration containing one Locale, the default locale for the server." And
in the PortletRequest it is almost the same: "Returns an Enumeration of
Locale objects indicating, in decreasing order starting with the preferred
locale in which the portal will accept content for this request. The Locales
may be based on the Accept-Language header of the client."
I may misunderstood something, can you explain me how this method works?

Thanks,

 Zsofi

Re: supported locales

[Kenneth Ramirez <ke...@yahoo.com>]

There are two sides to the story. Inside the
Portlet.xml, you are specifying which locales you
support from within your portlet. You specify your
intent to support specific locales with the
<supported-locale> tag. Additionally, you can provide
a resource bundle class or properties file for each
language you support.

At runtime, you can retrieve the client/portal
supported locales via the PortletRequest class by
calling the getLocales() method. This method returns
an Enumeration of locale objects (starting with the
preferred locale). At this point, you can choose which
locale you wish to send your content back in, pass it
to the getResourceBundle method and pull up the
appropriate resource bundle for use in your rendition.

Hope this helps.
