Laurie, thank you so for. This makes sense to me. But the problem is, that I don´t really have a source-url, as it is used in the examples. I´m using tiles and therefor I have to work with definitions. I guess, I cannot add any definition as a source, can I?
Actually I always want to return to the same page, together with any used params and all information of the form-bean, but with a different Locale. That´s it. But this doesn´t seems to be that trivial, altough I thought this would be a standard-problem...
