Answer 1

If you can use CDI and deltaspike (JSF module) in your environment, you could add the following to your LocaleBean to automatically reset the locale on the current view:

@javax.enterprise.context.SessionScoped
public class LocaleBean implements Serializable {

    ...

    public void resetLocale(@Observes @BeforePhase(JsfPhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE) PhaseEvent event) {
        event.getFacesContext().getViewRoot().setLocale(this.locale);
    }
}
