Okay, this seemed like a useful utility action to have hanging around, so here's
an example. Note that I've included a couple of lines the also update JSTL's
FMT_LOCALE config variable. Also note that the action expects a form that
exposes the following properties: language, country, and variant (it doesn't
matter if the form's a vanilla ActionForm or a flavor of DynaActionForm).
import java.util.Locale;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
import javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.core.Config;
import org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils;
import org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils;
import org.apache.struts.action.Action;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward;
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionMapping;
public class LocaleAction extends Action {
public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
String language = StringUtils.clean(BeanUtils.getProperty(form,
"language"));
String country = StringUtils.clean(BeanUtils.getProperty(form, "country"));
String variant = StringUtils.clean(BeanUtils.getProperty(form, "variant"));
if (language.length() > 0) {
Locale locale = new Locale(language, country, variant);
setLocale(request, locale);
HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
Config.set(session, Config.FMT_LOCALE, locale);
}
return mapping.findForward("success");
}
}
