-----------------------------------
Summary: Option to set request locale from the given servlet
request
Key: FREEMARKER-2
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-2
Project: Apache Freemarker
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Woonsan Ko
Priority: Minor
Currently templates are executed with a specific global locale all the time
because FreemarkerServlet.deduceLocale() uses config.getLocale().
This can result in wrong date/currency formatting issue for instance (when
using JSTL tags).
It should be able to read HttpServletRequest#getLocale().
Normally web application frameworks sets the request locale before rendering a
view.
Daniel's remark on this in old ML:

Then, I think, the default implementation of deduceLocale() should take the a
new init-param into account, let's call it "LocaleFromRequest". The default of
that should be false for backward compatibility. But if someone sets that
setting to true, and the request locale isn't null, we use that instead of the
Freemarker Configuration setting. And here again, you could override what the
*default* is.
Just like with "OverrideResponseContentType", the default can depend
on the IcI on the long run.
