Switching locales not displaying

[surfingspider]

Hi,

I am trying to internationalize my application and have copied the approach in chapter 14 of the seam documentation (drop down list with locales populates from faces-config.xml) and that shows. HOwever when submitting the form nothing happens! (even though the localeSelector.language is updated and displays.

My faces-config.xml is

<locale-config>
     <default-locale>ru_RU</default-locale>
     <supported-locale>en_AU</supported-locale>
     <supported-locale>ru_RU</supported-locale>
</locale-config>
<message-bundle>Messages</message-bundle>
<message-bundle>Formats</message-bundle>

my messagesxxXX.properties files are:

(en_AU)
applicationCompany=XYZ
(ru_RU)
applicationCompany=Миф

the facelets page is just

<f:loadBundle var="msg" basename="Messages"/>
<h2>#{msg.applicationCompany}</h2>

in addition to the select and form. Please help!

What does your locale selector form look like?

Do you call #{localeSelector.select} on a form action?

Hi David,

The form part is copied right out of chapter 14:

<h:form>
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{localeSelector.localeString}">
    <f:selectItems value="#localeSelector.supportedLocales}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:commandButton action="#{localeSelector.select}" value="#{msg.changeLanguage}"/>
</h:form>

it shows the two locales set up in faces-config.xml

Reading through the tomb that is the system.log file finds the localeSelector, there are no warnings for not finding a locale specific properties file for the locale change, or any indication of a switch at all.

Can having the file named messagesxxxx.properties and specified in faces-config.xml be an issue?
