Re: struts-menu & i18n - switching locale on user login

DE-EN, what? ;)

OK, look, you don't have to change the JSTL locale, if
you use struts. The only reason to do so, is a using two
different locale resources, which makes no sense. So
you better stick to struts locale and use the JSTL one
only for number formatting etc.

Now the second thingy, about the changing of locale. If the
menu titles are stored in the resources, and you know, that your 
resources are working fine, there's only one reason I can see
right now: you hold the MenuRepository in the session.

If it is so, you have to regenerate the repository and reload
it to the session every time the user switches the locale.

If you wan't to be really performance oriented you even better
put a HashMap of MenuRepositories combined with aviable locales into
the Application Scope ;)

Cheers,

Danny
