Setting locale for a session

Is there a way to setup a locale for a single web session?

By following a Sun JSF tutorial, I have been able to set the locale
for a single JSF page. However, after changing the page, the locale
no longer applies and the default locale is used instead.

This was found on the net:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=643181&messageID=3790390

but it seems like a hack.

Is there nothing simpler? Is it really true that such a thing is not
supported by J2EE infrastructure or Jboss?

A typical scenario would be where a user selects a language upon
entering a web site and the language is then used for all pages
viewed during that visit.

We have a similar web app thats served in multiple languages and the way we do it have a filter equivalent that will llook up the Browser language and set up the Locale accordingly for every request. This needs to be set for every request as the user can switch languages between page hits.
