If I understand your question correctly, you want to determinate which locale will be
used based on the accept-language list. The question comes down to how you wish your
application to behave in the regard. I know the answer for the "designed behavior".
(An article on this subject was published on the java.sun site some months ago.) When
a locale can't be related with the user identity, the first application supported
locale in the accept-language list is used. You shall have this application behavior
easily with the message tag alone. You don't need to use the setLocale tag at all. I
don't know anything else if you want your application behave in anothe fashion.
