Changing Locale in Seam?

[tonylmai]

I have the following code

public class LocalChanger {
 public String englishAction() {
 FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 context.getViewRoot().setLocale(Locale.ENGLISH);
 return NavigationRuleNames.DISPLAY_SAME_PAGE;
 }

 public String otherLangAction() {
 ....
 }

Yet some how when I navigate around, the locale is being set back to the default Locale.

Is there a better way to do it with Seam?

Thanks

Don't use the JSF context. Instead inject the component localeSelector like that:

@In Locale localeSelector;

..
..
..

localeSelector.setLocale(Locale.ENGLISH);

..
..

It shall work,

oooppps, my mistake... use this:

Inject
@In LocaleSelector localeSelector;

..
set the language
localeSelector.setLanguage("en");

Seam does make it simpler doesn't it. ;-)

Coded it. Will test it out as soon as I complete this half baked module that I've been working on all afternoon. 8(

Thank Ricardo.

I replied before I saw your second posting.

I like your first code snippet better. That way I can control time and other stuffs. I figured you meant injecting a LocaleSelector so that what I did.

Here is how I coded it.

 @In
 LocaleSelector localeSelector;

 public String englishAction() {
 localeSelector.setLocale(java.util.Locale.ENGLISH);
 return NavigationRuleNames.DISPLAY_SAME_PAGE;
 }

Thanks
