I'm looking at internationalizing a series of pages, which cover different character sets.
I've been planning to store the content type value in a properties files along wit hthe rest of the internationalized text, but I've run into some problems.
I have been experiementing with
<jsp:directive.page contentType="..." /> <@ page contentType="..." />
but none of them seem to be able to take a variable value for contentType,
e.g. <c:set> <fmt:message key="contentType"/> </c:set> <%@ page contentType="${pageContentType}" %>
or
<jsp:directive.page contentType="<jsp:expression>contentType</jsp:expression>" />
Neither of them support EL, or sxpressions in the statement.
Are there any plans to make these tags EL enabled?
In the meantime I guess I'll have to look at filters.
If you are using TC5, there is more flexibility for configuring the content-type and character-set, especially with JSTL standard taglibs.
Regarding dynamic variables for JSP directives, it doesn't sound very plausible.
You can map content-type to locales in your web.xml, and you can set it with <fmt:> tags, so I would say you'd be better off examining these methods first.
I guess it also depends on how you are going to set the locale in the first place - is it a user choice or browser-setting dependent, or an application definition?
