I did not mean to imply that you cannot change the locale in the code itself. I was simply stating that as a user, changing your locale in your browser will not change the locale that Struts has assigned your session.

One is to use the container's configuration setting for application. The other is to have an application itself session locale attribute. The Struts as well as the PetStore use the second approach. The locale setting can be changed inside of the container by either calling Config.set method for the first approach, or reset the locale variable value, session.setAttribute(org.apache.struts.action.Action.LOCALE_KEY,newLocale); for the Struts case for the second approach. The statement, ?locale is unchangeable during a session? is still not true even in Struts. Does your code also demonstrate locale resetting? 10/22/2002 8:15:28 AM, Russ Bonsall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >Vernon, > >The last time I checked the Pet Store application does not use Struts.
