JSTL and locale

[Rick DeBay]

I'm writing out text using <fmt:message>, and I'd like to know what locale JSTL
chose so I can display the proper lang attribute in my HTML tag.
How can I do this with JSTL? Or am I going to have to use a scriptlet?

Thanks, Rick DeBay

You can set the locale as shown in this example:
<fmt:setLocale value="en_US" />

I would suppose that if your user (or you) had selected a Locale you
could just feed it into the tag shown above.

Good luck,

Thanks for the quick reply.
I don't want to set the locale, I want to know what locale JSTL chose when it
had to pick one when processing fmt:message (since no locale is set and sessions
are disabled). As far as I can figure, I'll have to use a scriptlet (or write a
tag) to call response.getLocale().
