Spring provides many ways to change locale, this documentation will describe how to change it via an URL query string parameter and how to persist it with a cookie.
Enabling locale change persistance via a cookie is done by defining the CookieLocaleResolver bean and optionally changing it's defaults:
<bean id="localeResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.CookieLocaleResolver"> <property name="cookieName" value="lang"/> </bean> |
Here we changed the cookiename to be lang
instead. Now you can set a cookie called lang
to be any locale your IDP supports, e.g. en_GB
. This can be done via Javascript e.g. or use the LocaleChangeInterceptor below.
To change the locale via an URL query string parameter you have to enable it via an interceptor:
<mvc:interceptors> <mvc:interceptor> <mvc:mapping path="/**"/> <bean id="localeChangeInterceptor" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor"> <property name="paramName" value="lang"/> </bean> </mvc:interceptor> </mvc:interceptors> |
Here we enabled changing the locale based on the URL query string parameter lang
. This will be persisted to the cookie, if you configured it above.
