how to dynamically internationalize login page

[leo mj <le...@yahoo.com>]

hi all,

 I think some fellow member has asked the same question.But I didn't find any reply for the old thread.

So i have a scenario

I have a login page with 

  1.Username
  2.Password
  3.Language

Based on the language selected I have to reload the page.

I have used internationalization techniques like ApplicationResources_de for german.But this is a scenario where the language to be displayed is preconfigured using <message-resources> in struts-config.xml.

But dynamic selection of language,i feel can be done only if <message-resource parameter="ApplicationResources"> is modified using Action class.

I have done the modification using SAX parser and FileWriter.But I need a more neat way to do so.Is it possible???

Regards,
Leo

Err, I'm not sure I understand what you want to do. Why would you need 
to modify struts-config.xml? Provided you set the locale for the 
session, the correct properties file is used automatically for each 
subsequent request.

Modifying the struts-config.xml would change the default resources for 
all users of the application -- one user selecting a different language 
would change the language for every subsequent request for every user!

Perhaps you can explain what you're trying to achieve; maybe we can 
suggest a different approach for doing so.

leo.

Please don't do so. In Struts you can do the language switching with the
locale Action. For this you have to provide several resources in the
java resourcebundle manner:

- provide a file for your message-ressource e.g. resources.properties
- provide a file for each language and name it
  resources_en.properties for english
  resources_de.properties for german
  resources_fr.properties for france etc.
- struts itsself fetches the right file. You have to do nothing else.

Download http://struts-ge-packt.de/download/code.zip for examples. Here
you can see how to deal with the most of the actions that are provided
with struts.
