setLocale 2.0

[Hernan Soulages <he...@epidataconsulting.com>]

I sent a message asking about a problem with setLocale. Since I haven't
received any anwser, I think one of three thing has happened:
- You didn't receive it.
- It was too stupid a question to bother anwsering (hope not!).
- Nobody has a cleu of what is happening to me.
Wichever is the case, please anwser so I know I'm getting throught.
Regards
Hernan

Problem solved!
It was all a programming error. We added session.invalidate() after the
setLocale. That made the default Locale to be used.
Good to know that setLocale(myRequest, locale) doesn't set the myRequest
locale (as I assumed), but the Globals.LOCALE_KEY object in the session.

Thanks for the help

Seems your right.
(Locale) request.getSession().getAttribute(Globals.LOCALE_KEY);
does give me the Locale I just set. My problem is that I wan't to
programatically set the language for all the aplication, including the
<bean:message key="keyname"/> in the JSPs. I thought setLocale() did the
trick. How do I set de Locale for the bean:message tags?

Thanks
