RE: [Springframework-developer] Explicit locales

>>I've just been confused by your remarks quoted above: The first paragraph

>>paragraph proposes a setLocale method with exactly a locale parameter.

What I was proposing was an implementation as follows:

public interface LocaleResolver {
	
	// get the currently resolved locale
	Locale getLocale(HttpServletRequest request);

	// set the locale from the application code
	void setLocale(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response, Locale locale);

	// resolve the current locale
	void resolveLocale(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response, Locale locale);
}

The problem I see with this is that the application is forced to use
whatever method we define in order to change locales.  For example, they
would be required to have a query parameter like "?locale=frCA".


I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing and not understanding
each other, or if we are actually talking about different things.  However,
I think the only way either of us can be more clear is with working code.
You seem to understand the issues, so just code it how you're planning.
Worst case, we just refactor any problems later.
