Thanks for pointing out this gap in my strategy. I've uploaded an improved example (at the same location and same zip file name) which now uses a custom JSF View Handler and a session-scoped managed bean to do the job.

I've added a button to the "TestPage" in the example that performs a redirect using a global navigation rule to illustrate that this works using this more robust, improved technique.

Thanks.

Hi,
I had a similar problem with label for pages. The page label value was defined in pageDef as variable and its value was from resource bundle: "#{res.myPageLabel}.
Its translation was late one click when language switch occured.
I solved this problem by creating managed bean for labels. The bean contains get method for each label (for example getMyLabel). The method returns translated label from resource bundle.
Now my pageDef variable value is defined as #{myResourceBean.myLabel} and it works for me.

Hi,


What does your managed bean property value look like now?

Hi,

I've tried to localize the message text for a list binding for null message. That means in the List Binding Editor --> "No Selection" Item: --> Include Labeled Item --> <Any Selection>. I want to localize the text "<Any Selection>" in other language. I've created a new message bundle. After all, I tested the same change language function, it does not work immediately. I have to refresh the page to have the text changed to the desired language. Does anyone have workaround on this?

Thank you!

Hi all!

It's been a while since last post in this thread but I hope to get some more answers. First I'd like to thank you for this example. I've done something like this with my application but now I ran into two problems with the managed bean holding preferedLocale has session scope.

In my project I have two public pages and a link to application home page that calls login page when user is not logged in.

1) Login page always uses the english resources even though default and currently active locale is different. (edit: OK, I think I figured this out: probably becouse default resource file (one without suffix) is for english)
2) Since bean scope is session after login (another session probably) user selected locale is forgotten (same with logout). How can I pass preffered locale to another session? Application scope for this bean is not good for me since it changes locale for all users that are currently using the application.

I'm quite new to JDeveloper and web applications so my questions are sometimes a bit stupid. I hope these aren't one of them .

Thank you!
Bye

Hi,

it seems that there are other problems with SR demo regarding changing locale. For example:
- if I run the page with browser locale set to German, the menu tabs (which are based on the menu model, this is the menu1 facet) are always shown in English,
- on the SRCreate page there are English and German messages at the same time (English: buttons, title, userInfo, copyright, about; German: all other texts including menuGlobal and dropdown lists).

In a different application, localization for menu items based on menu model also did not work by default.
Jackbckw, thanks for solution - returning JSFUtils.getStringFromBundle(_label) in MenuItem.getLabel() work fine!

Patrik
