You can implement any capability you need to match something that Apache httpd does with one of its modules. > Do I have to replace index.html with a servlet that checks the value of > Accept-Language and generates a redirect to something like index.html.en or > index.html.[es] That sounds like a decent idea. Andre-John suggests using request.getLocale().getLanguage() to determine where to go. I would recommend getting the raw Accept-Language header information and checking that against the languages you support. You don't want to blindly redirect to index.html.zh when you only have index.html.en and index.html.es. You may be able to leverage urlrewrite (http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/) to do your heavy-lifting. I think something like this would work: <rule> <!-- Attempt to find Spanish without an English preference over it --> <condition name="Accept-Language" value="(en){0}?.*es(_[A-Z][A-Z])?" /> <from>/index.html</from> <!-- Don't try any more rules --> <to last="true" type="redirect">/index.html.es</to> </rule> <!-- Default rule: go to English for everyone else --> <rule> <from>/index.html</from> <to type="redirect">/index.html.en</to> </rule> - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkoIlSMACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDqlwCdHP+bzdw6m4XMv05EnivZbtnk 7+gAn1Q4A4aOjCBjINhQQTUlApHUO4ND =ammP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
