In the Struts example app, this is done by including the following tag on the
index.jsp page (actually, on every page):
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<html:html locale="true">
... page content ...
</html:html>
This causes that <html:html> tag to consult the "Accept-Language" header sent by
the browser, and set up a Locale in the user's session if it is not already
there -- exactly the same way that the controller servlet does this if you
configure it to.
NOTE: There are currently problems with this on servlet containers that do not
correctly implement the JSP 1.1 requirements for converting custom tag attribute
values. I have heard problem reports about JRun 3.0 and ATG in this regard.
