Hi all
Till now, all JSP pages in our application had to have the following header
for internationalization:
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt"; %>
<fmt:setLocale value="${currentLocale}"/>
<fmt:setBundle basename="ch.xobix.i18n.translations.X2Resources"
var="bundle" scope="page"/>
Then a message would be output like this:
<fmt:message key="longWeekday_0" bundle="${bundle}"/>
Note that "currentLocale" is set by the controller, and
ch.xobix...X2Resources is a class that loads the messages from a database
table.
This works well, however I think it's tedious for the web designer to do
this manually all the time.
My goal is to have the following:
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt"; %>
And the message output like this:
<fmt:message key="longWeekday_0"/>
So I tried to set it in the controller, as described in "JSTL in Action". I
managed to set the Locale right, but I don't know how to do the same with
the resources. First I tried according to the book to create a
ResourceBundle and a Locale and set JSTL's FMT_LOCALIZATIONCONTEXT (does
anyone know why this is written like this?). Didn't work...
Now I've seen that I can change the web.xml to read
<web-app>
...
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.localizationContext</param-name>
<param-value>ch.xobix.i18n.translations.X2Resources</param-value>
</context-param>
...
</web-app>
Now, in the controller, I set the Locale with
Config.set(this.getRequest(), Config.FMT_LOCALE, <the language code> );
and I see it in Tomcat's output:
DEBUG - Request: javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.locale = it (when changing to
Italian)
BUT the message itself doesn't change!
What am I doing wrong? Or how should I do it right?
Also, has anyone of you succeeded in dynamically changing resources? Right
now, when someone enters a new key in the database, we have to restart
Tomcat.
Thanks for any help!
Eric
