public class SessionLocaleResolver extends AbstractLocaleContextResolver
LocaleResolver
implementation that
uses a locale attribute in the user's session in case of a custom setting,
with a fallback to the specified default locale or the request's
accept-header locale.
This is most appropriate if the application needs user sessions anyway,
i.e. when the HttpSession
does not have to be created just for storing
the user's locale. The session may optionally contain an associated time zone
attribute as well; alternatively, you may specify a default time zone.
Custom controllers can override the user's locale and time zone by calling
#setLocale(Context)
on the resolver, e.g. responding to a locale change
request. As a more convenient alternative, consider using
RequestContext.changeLocale(java.util.Locale)
.
In contrast to CookieLocaleResolver
, this strategy stores locally
chosen locale settings in the Servlet container's HttpSession
. As a
consequence, those settings are just temporary for each session and therefore
lost when each session terminates.
Note that there is no direct relationship with external session management
mechanisms such as the "Spring Session" project. This LocaleResolver
will simply evaluate and modify corresponding HttpSession
attributes
against the current HttpServletRequest
.

public static final java.lang.String LOCALE_SESSION_ATTRIBUTE_NAME
Use RequestContext(Utils).getLocale()
to retrieve the current locale in controllers or views.
public static final java.lang.String TIME_ZONE_SESSION_ATTRIBUTE_NAME
Use RequestContext(Utils).getTimeZone()
to retrieve the current time zone in controllers or views.

This is primarily intended for framework-level processing; consider using
RequestContextUtils
or
RequestContext
for
application-level access to the current locale and/or time zone.
The returned context may be a
TimeZoneAwareLocaleContext
,
containing a locale with associated time zone information.
Simply apply an instanceof
check and downcast accordingly.
Custom resolver implementations may also return extra settings in the returned context, which again can be accessed through downcasting.
