Locale in session

[samit700]

Hi,

I have a very basic question on Struts. I was wondering why is a locale always stored in the session context. All the Struts custom tags and configs, message tags depend on the locale being stored in the session scope. Why am I compelled to create a new session for every new user coming to the site. Is there an alternative and why is this implemented this way ?
Thanks,
Samit

I always access my locale out of the request object

request.getLocale()

I never see it in my session really, can you point me to a doc that describes the interaction your seeing?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. For example, <bean:message key ="..."> looks for the locale in session. And another example can be <html:html locale=true> creates a new session (if it doesn't already exist) and stores user's locale in it.

Hmm, I don't see that. I use html:html locale=true and when I dump my session keys I do not get any results.

I am probably missing something, I have only been using stuts for about 4 months now. I'll be interested in seeing the result!
