Wes Wannemacher updated WW-3219:
--------------------------------

         Priority: Minor  (was: Major)
    Fix Version/s: 2.1.9
       Issue Type: Improvement  (was: Bug)

pushing to next release and lowering priority since an acceptable workaround is 
available.

> Fallback locale mecanism is broken and highly dependent on Locale.getDefault()

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 2.1.8
>         Environment: French JVM

> If I have 2 resource bundles:
> messages_fr.properties
> messages.properties (containing en_US)
> and my JVM is a French one (Locale.getDefault()=fr_FR)
> then struts will always use messages_fr.properties whatever is the parameter 
> used for struts.locale or request_locale (even if I explicitly require en_US).
> This is because of the standard ResourceBundle.getBundle() lookup algorithm.

> http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4303146
> Potential solutions:
> 1) Use new JDK 1.6 feature: ResourceBundle.Control to specify the fallback 
> Locale
> 2) Don't use getBundle and implement your own resource bundle lookup mecanism 
> like in JSF
