You should be able to use an HttpSessionAttributeListener (see UserCounterListener for an example) to do this.
http://tinyurl.com/24j7me Within your listener, you should be able to add logic that looks up the user's locale (or just read it from the User object provided by Acegi) and stuff it in the session. Look at the logic in LocaleFilter.java for how to do this: http://tinyurl.com/yo6u43 Of course, you could also just modify LocaleFilter to do this. If you're using 2.x, the easiest way to change filters (at this point) is to copy the source and put it into a package in your project - and then modify web.xml to point to your package. The beauty of this approach is you should be able to copy the test into your project as well. Hope this helps, Matt On 3/28/07, Fan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Matt, thank you for the explaination. I think I need to go futher by extending or changing the ResourceBundle handling, I am thinking of adding a column in the user table to tell which language the user is going to use, by then I should be able to load the specific ApplicationResources.propeties. In short, I wish to load the specific ApplicationResourcess.properties dependent on user login instead of user locale. How do you think about this ? Any advice ?
