bug? resource bundle is not automatically changed

Hello!

We're using the <bean:message /> tag 
to display localizable messages.

The message is displayed in the default locale which was active when the
web server was started.
I thought struts would use the correct resource bundle automatically!
Isn't that true?

What we did to get the correct language was
    session.setAttribute(org.apache.struts.action.Action.LOCALE_KEY,
request.getLocale());
in the jsp pages.

This works, but I suggest struts should do this automatically.

Greetings,
Uli

It will do so automatically, if you tell it to:

* For requests submitted to the controller servlet, enable this
  feature by setting the "locale" initialization parameter to "true".

* For JSP pages, use the provided custom tag to replace <html> .. </html>:

  <html:html locale="true">
    ... content of your page ...
  </html:html>
