internationalization question

[panpur]

hi... i'm new to seam

i've read the tutorial about seam internationalization
but the only way i found to set the locale was using combobox and then invoke #{localeSelector.select} from seam link/button

in my app, i intend to save preferred language for each user in a database,
so when a user logged in, every page int the app will display all text in his preferred language

i'm looking for a way to set the locale manually in my authenticate method

thank's in advance

Hi,

You can have the localeSelector component injected in your authenticator component:

@In
LocaleSelector localeSelector;

And in the authenticate method:

localeSelector.setLocaleString(l);
localeSelector.select();

There are other setters available, too. I use setLocaleString() because this is what is most useful if you use getSupportedLocales().

thank's for the answer wise_guybg
now i can finally finish my job

cheers

Is it possible to overwrite the localeSelector class?

I have the problem that translated list entries in a session bean need to be recreated when changing the language.

I don't see a setCallback or anything like that.

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/jboss/jboss-eap-4.2/doc/seam/api/org/jboss/seam/core/LocaleSelector.html

And I don't find anything here, how to change the LocaleSelector to a CustomLocaleSelector class.

http://docs.jboss.com/seam/2.0.0.CR2/reference/en/html/i18n.html

TIA

Just do that:

@Scope(value = SESSION)
@Name(value = "org.jboss.seam.international.localeSelector")
@BypassInterceptors
public class CustomLocaleSelector extends
 org.jboss.seam.international.LocaleSelector {
...
}

Douze points

@Override
public void select() {
 super.select();
}

Thanks a lot

The org.jbos.seam.localeSelected event is reaised when the locale is selected - that's your "callback"
