Hi Gerald, It could be a little bit tricky to use request parameters for choosing locale.
If you call request.getParameter() before the LocalePicker#pickCharacterEncoding() method is invoked, the returned encoding may not be used. This is why the javadoc of the LocalePicker#pickLocale method suggests not to use request parameters for choosing locale. The source reason for this exists in the servlet spec. Here's an excerpt from the javadoc of the ServletRequest#setCharacterEncoding(): 'This method must be called prior to reading request parameters or reading input using getReader(). Otherwise, it has no effect.' -- I would create a custom locale picker which checks a session attribute to determine locale. Parsing request parameter and setting the session attribute can be done in action beans. You need to return RedirectResolution instead of ForwardResolution for the locale change to take effect.
