Hi Pierre,
It so happens that we discussed this on IRC 2 days ago:
http://servlet.uwyn.com/drone/log/bevinbot/rife/20051128 (check
around 17:05)
Even if i18n is mainly an element's responsability, i like the
idea to be able to get some very specific resource at template
level with sth like "[!V 'L10N:bundlename:key"
Could be handy indeed, can you file an issue in Jira for that?
My proposal went into a similar direction, except instead of
having a 'detect_client_locale' property, I was thinking of
having a 'localeProvider' property. This would be an instance of
a class that implements the LocaleProvider interface and have one
method: List<Locale> getLocale(ElementSupport activeElement).
RIFE could then include a ClientLocaleProvider class that obtains
the list of locales that the browser provides as a suggestion. It
also opens up the possibility of any kind of possible locale
negotiation.
A LocaleProvider interface is a good idea.
What about the possibility to use a scope argument:
- request i.e. the client locales as above
- application, see L10N_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE ("en" by default) and
L10N_DEFAULT_COUNTRY (null by default)
- template, sth only known at the template level (the "page" scope
of fmt tags in JSP), with a default value which can be set by
configuration
- session, a value explicitely given by the user
with:
- by default, the scope would be "request", but this default
behavior can be change (e.g. to "session" if session locales are
used) either:
* by a function LocaleProvider.setDefaultScope
* or by a configuration parameter
- when available, application and template locales would be ever
supplied
- with session scope, request locales would be supplied if available
- order of priority: application<template<request<session
I don't that separate scoping is needed, IoC should provide all the
scoping you need since you can inject properties in the reposition,
site-structure and elements. Btw, RIFE doesn't support the notion of
traditional sessions (http://rifers.org/wiki/display/RIFE/Acceptable
+session+support).
Best regards,
Geert
