Class AcceptHeaderLocaleResolver

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.AcceptHeaderLocaleResolver
All Implemented Interfaces:
LocaleResolver

public class AcceptHeaderLocaleResolver
extends Object
implements LocaleResolver

Implementation of LocaleResolver that simply uses the primary locale specified in the "accept-language" header of the HTTP request (that is, the locale sent by the client browser, normally that of the client's OS).

Note: Does not support setLocale, since the accept header can only be changed through changing the client's locale settings.
