Title: How to test only for the language-code but not for the country?

i faced a similar problem and i override the processLocale method of ActionServlet as follows...

 

 protected void processLocale(HttpServletRequest request) {

 

  // Validate that we need to create a Locale
  if (!locale)
   return;             // Service not requested
  HttpSession session = request.getSession();
  if (session.getAttribute(Action.LOCALE_KEY) != null)
   return;             // Locale object is already present

 

  // Use the Locale returned by the servlet container (if any)
  Locale locale = request.getLocale();
  if (locale != null)
  {
   if (locale.getLanguage().equals("en"))
    locale = new Locale("en","US");

 

   if (locale.getLanguage().equals("nl"))
    locale = new Locale("nl","NL");

 

   if (!(locale.getLanguage().equals("en") || locale.getLanguage().equals("nl")))
    locale = new Locale("nl","NL");
    
   session.setAttribute(Action.LOCALE_KEY, locale);
  }
  else
  {
   locale = new Locale("nl","NL");
   session.setAttribute(Action.LOCALE_KEY, locale);
  }   
}

I want to test the Accept-Language and show a french message if the user speaks french.

But the following code doesn't take care of the Accept-Language fr-ch.

<logic:equal value="fr" header="Accept-Language">
  Welcome french
</logic:equal>

And this code doesn't take care of the Accept-Language fr-ch.

<logic:equal value="fr-ch" header="Accept-Language">
  Welcome french
</logic:equal>

Do I have to write my own tag? Has anybody allready an apropriate tag?

thanks

Beat Friedli
