Hi,
After searching and reading the tapestry source I finally found a
working solution (the Tapestry 4 way) of setting the default locale.
The behavior I want is that if no locale cookie is set, the default
locale specified in a meta key in my .application file is used. I want
this behavior since the target audience is Dutch, and I don't want Dutch
users using an English browser to get the English site by default.
However I do want to allow people to be able to change the language to
English on request.
The trick was to clone the
org.apache.tapestry.services.impl.RequestLocaleManager class and fix it
so it would not look at the browser supplied locale at all.
Unfortunately I was not able to override this class since it users
private properties for which there are no setters.
After cloning and adjusting this class I overrode the
tapestry.request.RequestLocaleManager service point with my own
implementation as described by
http://jakarta.apache.org/hivemind/override.html.
Greetings,
Sebastiaan

After you set the locale, ensure that cycle.cleanUpRequest (I dont quite
remember the method name), is called and then re-activate the page you want
to get the locale refreshed.

Hi,
After some more reading I found out that Tapestry already saves the user
locale in a cookie, so that's good and it only comes down to setting the
default locale. In the Wiki I found the following page:
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-tapestry/DefaultLocale
which says to override the base engine to do:
public final void setLocale(Locale locale)
{
if (getLocale() == null)
super.setLocale(new Locale(defaultLanguage, defaultCountry));
else
super.setLocale(locale);
}
First of all this doesn't seem like "the Tapestry 4" way of doing
things, but secondly, I tried this and it did not work. I display the
engine locale on my pages and it clearly shows that it *is* the default
locale, but the pages are still displayed in the request's locale (which
in this case happened to be a different but accepted locale).
What is the correct way to set the default locale? Should I register my
own RequestLocaleManager on the RequestLocaleManager service point?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
How can you set the locale of a page on the *first* page load of the
entire application. I store the locale in a cookie, and when the user
comes to the login page I want it to display in their favorite locale.
I searched the list and learned that you can change the locale in a
listener by:
cycle.cleanup();
throw new PageRedirectException(this);
However, this does NOT work in the pageBeginRender method... Maybe it's
already too late to try to change the locale there, but I don't know
where to change it otherwise. Does anybody know how to do it before the
first page of the application is displayed?
Thanks in advance!
