Switching Locale anywhere

[Lee Joe <sc...@hotmail.com>]

I have a very common user requirement, that is, to allow switching the 
locale on every page. 

I can easily write an action which take the selected locale and the 
invoking page as input and forward the response back to the invoking page. 
However, if that invoking page is the result of some action, e.g. the 
search result page of a search action, and that search result is stored in 
the request scope, then after the language switch the page will display an 
empty list (or even broken!). 

I reckon it *may* be possible to invoke the language switch with the 
incoming action as a parameter (that is not trivial right?), but that 
incoming action may be a money transfer action that I don't want it to 
repost. 

So *tada* I figured out a *I thought it was smart* way to handle this. I 
wrote a custom tag and put it on every page that can switch language. This 
tag will save a copy of all the references to objects in the request scope 
in a single buffer in the session just before the page get displayed. If 
you switch language, I just restore all those objects back into request 
scope. This works like a charm (well, for those enumeration I have to do 
some tricks but that's ok...). I don't even need an action, this tag will 
handle this. I just put a link resultPage.jsp?locale=fr_CA and then this 
tag will do all the work or switching locale object in session and 
restoring the request scope objects. 

Ok then I saw how this would break down when the user opens 2 browsers for 
the same session because I only have a single page buffer for the 
references to the request scope objects. My questions are: 1) Any one has a 
genuine solution to this requirement? Am I on the right path or am I 
totally off? 2) Anyone see a dirty hack to my *not so smart* solution? 

Thanks, Joe

Newbie Struts-Config.xml help

[Boney Sze <se...@yahoo.com>]

I need to implement struts on my application.
My application functions like

page1.jsp --> servlet --> javabeans(database access)
--> page2.jsp


page2.jsp --> servlet --> javabeans --> page3.jsp


I have implemented struts using action mappings but it
only works when I use a URL link and has ****.do in
the URL.

But when I use <html:form> to process the request, it
does not work.


 <form-beans>

    <form-bean name="FormBean"
                    type="com.mybean"/>

  </form-beans>


  <action-mappings>


    <action path="/dothis"
               type="com.myServlet"
               name="dothis"
              scope="session"
           validate="false">
      <forward name="page2" path="/page2.jsp"/>
    </action>
	
    <action path="/forms"
               type="com.myServlet"
               name="FormBean"
              scope="request"
		   input="/page2.jsp"
		   validate="false">
      <forward name="page3" path="/page3.jsp"/>
    </action>	

    <action path="/page2"
            forward="/page2.jsp">
    </action>


I hope you can help me.

Thanks

Boney Sze
