Thanks but it still seems open.. We do give the user the ability to choose
language.

This is kind of what I was asking...
This can't be uncommon for struts users (as most are probably working in a
J2EE environment and using container managed security 'j_security_check').
I want to store the user object in the session. Included in that object is
the locale.
Problem is, using container managed security it will forward to the page
they requested and it will not have the locale set by the user on last log
in.
Help!
Mike
