problem with custom localeselector

[scphantm.scphantm.gmail.com]

in my code, i need a custom localeselector to drop the cache for a fragment when the locale changes.  i tried using remoting but the localselector system triggers a form submit which causes the remoting to return with an error code 0 every time.

here is my custom selector

package com.show.pro.session;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.jboss.seam.ScopeType;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.In;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Scope;
import org.jboss.seam.cache.JbossCacheProvider;
import org.jboss.seam.international.LocaleSelector;

@Name("showLocaleSelector")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class ShowLocaleSelector extends LocaleSelector
{
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ShowLocaleSelector.class);

     @In
     protected JbossCacheProvider cacheProvider;

     public void selectLanguageKillCSSCache(String language)
     {
          try
          {
               logger.debug("trying to kill the cache");
               cacheProvider.remove("cssfragment", "languagebuttons");
               logger.debug("killed the cache");
          } catch (Exception ex)
          {
               logger.debug("kill cache died");
               ex.printStackTrace();
          }
          logger.warn(super.getLanguage());
     }
}

killing the cache works, my super.getlanguage returns the correct locale, but all my other beans (specifically the ones that handle multi-lingual button images) still return the default locale.  its never changed.  any idea what im missing?

sorry, this is the line above the logger.warn

super.selectLanguage(language);

any ideas on this?  this issue is holding up a rollout to testing, im stumped.

What about the other beans? How do they use the locale? Maybe it's better to post some code.

[scphantm.scphantm.gmail.com]

import java.util.Locale;
@In
     private Locale locale;

function blka
returnValue = localButtonRoot + locale.getLanguage() + "/" + showFile;
return returnValue;

thats all im trying to do, pretty rudimentary but i can't get it to work.  i don't get it.  when i use

#{localselector.selectlanguage('es')}

on a command button the the above code works perfectly.  but i need to dump my cache fragments before i switch locals so the urls to all my language sensitive buttons are updated correctly.

You could try to bandy Seams localeSelector with your custom implementation. This should work:

import static org.jboss.seam.annotations.Install.APPLICATION;

import org.jboss.seam.ScopeType;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.In;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Install;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Logger;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Scope;
import org.jboss.seam.annotations.intercept.BypassInterceptors;
import org.jboss.seam.cache.CacheProvider;
import org.jboss.seam.international.LocaleSelector;
import org.jboss.seam.log.Log;

@Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
@Name("org.jboss.seam.international.localeSelector")
@BypassInterceptors
@Install(precedence=APPLICATION, classDependencies="javax.faces.context.FacesContext")
public class CustomLocaleSelector extends LocaleSelector {
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

     private @In CacheProvider cacheProvider;
     private @Logger Log logger;
     
     private void killCache() {
          try {
               logger.debug("trying to kill the cache");
               cacheProvider.remove("cssfragment", "languagebuttons");
               logger.debug("killed the cache");
          } catch (Exception ex) {
               logger.debug("kill cache died");
               ex.printStackTrace();
          }
     }
     
     @Override
     public void select() {
          killCache();
          super.select();
          logger.warn(super.getLanguage());
     }
}

You can use this custom localeSelector as usual.

remove the bypassintercepters and worked perfectly.  thanks a lot, i didn't realize i can overload base seam components like that.  wish i knew that when i was building my authentication system.
