You might try using a servlet filter to keep the locales in sync:
import javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.Config;
...
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
Locale locale = (Locale)session.getAttribute(Globals.LOCALE_KEY);
if (locale == null) {
locale = request.getLocale();
}
Config.set(session, Config.FMT_LOCALE, locale);
Obviously, you can use the Config class from action code as well. Depending on
what type of app server you're using, you'll want a different version of JSTL,
which means different taglib URIs:
JSP 1.2 / JSTL 1.0 (e.g. Tomcat 4):
http://java.sun.com/jstl/fmt
JSP 2.0 / JSTL 1.1 (e.g. Tomcat 5):
http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt
