Hi Kosh,
The responses to your question by David Winterfeldt & Peter Alfors are the
correct way to go about this, as the local is already stored in the session
by struts. So to flesh out David's example for you... in your action classes
perform method try something like this:
public ActionForward perform(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException
{
String flag = ((LoginForm) form).getFlag ();
Local locale = new java.util.Locale (flag);
request.getSession().setAttribute(
org.apache.struts.action.Action.LOCALE_KEY,locale);
return (mapping.findForward("success"));
}
In your jsp you would use an html:img tag that added the 'flag' locale
string as a request parameter ie :
<html:img scr="/images/uk.gif" paramId='flag' paramName='en_GB'/>
Then in subsequent jsps you just use a bean:message tag, no need to include
the locale option as we have set the struts locale key in the session and
this is used by the Message tag lib.
Jon.

I think I understand how this works, but some code examples would be
handy since the documentation for the bean:message tag's locale
attribute seems to indicate that a "
session scope bean under which our currently selected Locale object is
stored" can be used as an alternative to the Action.LOCALE_KEY constant.
