LocaleResolver in Spring

Question

I am using session locale resolver for my application. I am showing the languages in dropdown. if the user selects on any of the language then repopulates all values from that language.

<property name="interceptors">
    <list>
        <ref bean="localeChangeInterceptor" />
    </list>
</property>

<bean id="localeChangeInterceptor"
      class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor">
    <property name="paramName" value="languageCode" />
</bean>

<bean id="localeResolver"
      class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.SessionLocaleResolver" />

But its is not reading it from the session. Always it considers the defaultlanguage from browser setting. Please help on this.

Solution

You need to obtain the locale in this way:

Locale loc=RequestContextUtils.getLocale(request);

If the controller method is annotated with @RequestMapping, you can just add a Locale parameter to the method and Spring will automatically provide it for you. static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/…

@Kevin Stembridge: I would only make the statement, that it is a bed idea to obtain the locale direct from the session. -- And of course the parameter way is even much better thant what I have writen.
