How to obtain a current user locale from Spring without passing it as a parameter to functions?

Question

I am using Spring 3.1 and want to find the locale active for the current user is there a way to grab the locale directly without being forced to pass it from the controller

Answer 1

It depends on where you have configured to store the locale, in session or in cookie?

In my application I have configured to store the user locale in its session with below mentioned configuration.

    
        
    

    
        
    

    
        
    

    
        
        
            /WEB-INF/i18n/labels
            /WEB-INF/i18n/messages
            /WEB-INF/i18n/include
        
        
        
    

If you have done somthing like this then you can easily retrieve the locale parameter from the session.

Hope this helps you.

Cheers.
