Localization

[jeneric]

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a way to change the locale for the session by using a request parameter (i.e. http://someurl/page.xhtml?locale=fr)? We need this ability since we have users who will be navigating to this application from another web app.
Right now we are able to receive a "locale" request parameter and change the localization settings using the LocaleSelector within our backing bean, however, that does not impact the initial page request, only subsequent requests.

You should be able to do this using a page action

<page view-id="*" action="#{foo.initLocale}" />

@RequestParameter String locale;

public void initLocale() {
 if (locale != null) {
 // Set the locale
 }
}

Thanks - that worked perfectly!
