Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the right way or the right place to place a feature request. If not, you can stop reading now. Instead of a feature request, it might also be considered a (minor) bug.
I noticed the strong support for different locales by struts, which I like very much. There is however one thing I am missing. Imagine that my preferred language as set in the "Accept-language" setting of my browser (and HTTP header in requests) is: "fr,de" (French and German respectively). If I go to a Struts site that supports only English and German (en,de), there is no match at all, no matter that I accept German. Reason is the following lines in RequestUtils.java:
if (userLocale == null) {
// Returns Locale based on Accept-Language header or the server default
userLocale = request.getLocale();
}
So, only the (first) preferred language is considered, and any successive languages are discarded. According to the HTTP specs, it can be a list of languages ("nl,en;q=0.8,de;q=0.5,..."). This is why the HttpServletRequest also has a method getLocales() which returns an Enumeration. I would like it if Struts would try to match any of the successive languages for which .properties files exist if the first isn't matched. I realize that it may cause a performance penalty, so maybe it can be made a configuration option (match-second-languages=true/false or something).
I hope you will consider to add this feature.
Regards, Jeroen Kransen
