[Andromda-devel] AndroMDA/JIRA Commented: (EJB-90) Locale management with Seam cartridge

[Olivier T. (JIRA) <ji...@an...>]

    [ http://jira.andromda.org/browse/EJB-90?page=comments#action_14960 ] 

Olivier THIERRY commented on EJB-90:
------------------------------------

A patch is supplied on attached file.
I created two namespace properties :
- defaultLocale (en as default value) which contains the default locale
- supportedLocales which is a comma separated list of supported locales (for example : "fr,es,it")

In the patch I also supplied the class name for stringUtils templateObject in cartridge.xml, since org.andromda.core.common.StringUtilsHelper is deprecated and has to be replaced by org.andromda.utils.StringUtilsHelper

> In the Seam 2.0 documentation you can read the following lines about the way locale is set in a Seam session :
> Seam just delegates to JSF to determine the active locale:
> ? If there is a locale associated with the HTTP request (the browser locale), and that locale is in the list of
> supported locales from faces-config.xml, use that locale for the rest of the session.
> ? Otherwise, if a default locale was specified in the faces-config.xml, use that locale for the rest of the session.
> ? Otherwise, use the default locale of the server.
> So to add internationalization support to a Seam application, you have to add default and supported locales in the faces-config.xml file. Something like that :
> <locale-config>
>          <default-locale>en</default-locale>
>          <supported-locale>fr</supported-locale>
>          <supported-locale>es</supported-locale>
> </locale-config>
> Unfortunately, this is not possible with Seam cartridge as it is now. There are no properties to do this in Seam cartridge namespace and there is no merge-point in the face-config.xml.vsl template. So the only way to do it is to add it manually in the cartridge and rebuild it. I suggest one could add "default-locale" and "supported-locales" (a comma separated list of locales) properties in Seam cartridge namespace.
