Yes, I understand what you need.
You are trying to use Struts to forward to a jsp depending on Locale (and
some other param).
I'm not sure how you plan to capture from the user's 'param' such as
country.
Perhaps your own authentication mechanism is storing the "user to country"
relation.
Still, I think you'd be better off structuring your site to use one
codebase.
Here's an example of what I mean:
(I'm typing this as I go, so forgive me if I miss something)
+ app
+ i18n
+ en
+ images
+ stylesheets
+ (other web content)
+ fr
+ images
+ stylesheets
+ (other web content)
+ de
+ images
+ stylesheets
+ (other web content)
+ WEB-INF
+ classes
+ lib
+ jsp
+ tld
+ xml
#1. Then in you create ApplicationResources.properties
----------------------------------------------------
images.logo={0}/images/logo.gif
images.logo.alt=Company Logo
global.title=My i18n website
#2. Now, create a ApplicationResources_fr.properties
----------------------------------------------------
images.logo={0}/images/frenchlogo.gif
images.logo.alt=Logo De Compagnie
global.title=Mon website d'i18n
#3. also create one for German (ApplicationResources_de.properties)
images.logo={0}/images/germanlogo.gif
images.logo.alt=Firma-Firmenzeichen
global.title=Mein i18n website
When displaying the html:img, be sure to insert the locale.
Now, your content is separated from your code.
"Use the force Luke".....
1 Codebase - Many Languages
Do you see how easy it is? All you have to do is copy
the 'en' file structure, the rename 'en' to whatever. Then
have your folks update with that language versions.
+ en
+ images
+ stylesheets
+ (other web content)
Also create a ApplicationResources_{lang}.properties
where {lang} is the two letter abrev. for the locale
The same codebase will correctly use the version for
the users locale. You may need to specify local for
misc items like .css or other files (.swf, .js, .xls).
If this makes no sense to you....
