http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17535 <bean:message> needs more ways to specify locale Summary: <bean:message> needs more ways to specify locale Product: Struts Version: 1.1 RC1 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Custom Tags AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Currently, the <bean:message> tag is designed to retrieve messages in the user's locale only. Consider a situation where a user needs to print a report for his/her manager, who speaks a different language (common in some countries). At the moment, a way to do this is to use the following construct: ... <bean:define id="manager" name="managerBean" type="ManagerBean"/> <bean:define id="managerLocale" name="manager" property="locale" type="java.util.Locale" toScope="session"/> ... <bean:message key="report.title" locale="managerLocale"/> ... This works fine, as long as the locale object is created in session scope. This is because the object is eventually retrieved using the RequestUtils.retrieveUserLocale() method, which only looks for it in the session. I think it would be more logical if the <bean:message> tag would look for the locale in page, request, session and application scope consecutively. But why store an extra locale object in any scope? It would be great to have a way to specify the manager's locale property directly, e.g.: ... <bean:define id="manager" name="managerBean" type="ManagerBean"/> ... <bean:message key="report.title" localeName="manager" localeProperty="locale"/> ... The easiest way would be to reuse the "name" and "property" attributes. Although this might be confusing, they could be used to specify the locale if the "key" attribute is also provided, e.g.: ... <bean:message key="report.title" name="manager" property="locale"/> ... I hope to have made a useful contribution, and would be grateful for such an enhancement.
