How are you planning on letting the user choose the locale before they've
logged in? That sounds like a catch-22.
When Struts sees a request that does not have a Locale in the session
already, it looks at the Accept-Language header included in the request.
In turn, this is set by the language preferences you've selected in your
browser -- the first one you list will be the one that Struts picks, and
will stay there until you change it (by replacing the seesion attribute).
Therefore, if the login page is the very first page that the user sees,
tell them to change their browser settings. And don't forget to include:
<html:html locale="true">
... contents of the login page ...
</html:html>
if the user is linking directly to the login page rather than going
through the controller servlet.
