How do I programatically change the current user locale?

[xmaniac]

Instead of using the browser specific value I would like to allow the user to select a preferred language (ideally storing it in a cookie aswell). I'm trying to no avail. Any help?

It depends on some facts, first whatversion of JBossPortal are you targetting, and second is the user you are referring to an anonymous user or an authenticated user.

We have a requirement to allow anonymous users to switch the locale using a button, see http://my.epoline.org.
On JBossPortal 2.0 this can only be realized using a servlet filter that wraps each request to the portal servlet. On JBossPortal 2.2 a server interceptor can be used for that, see http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=77074.

It was v2.2 (I'm working with the last CVS version). I'm not used to server interceptors tough. Could you post some sample code?
