Package org.exoplatform.portal.application.localization

Class LocalizationFilter

java.lang.Object
org.exoplatform.container.web.AbstractFilter
org.exoplatform.portal.application.localization.LocalizationFilter
All Implemented Interfaces:
jakarta.servlet.Filter
public class LocalizationFilter extends org.exoplatform.container.web.AbstractFilter
This filter provides ServletRequest.getLocale() and ServletRequest.getLocales() override for extra-portlet requests (i.e. unbridged .jsp). Thanks to it dynamic resources can be localized to keep in sync with the rest of the portal. This filter is re-entrant, and can safely be installed for INCLUDE, FORWARD, and ERROR dispatch methods.

A concrete example of re-entrant use is login/jsp/login.jsp used when authentication fails at portal login.

By default ServletRequest.getLocale() and ServletRequest.getLocales() reflect browser language preference. When using this filter these two calls employ the same Locale determination algorithm as LocalizationLifecycle does.

This filter can be activated / deactivated via portal module's web.xml

If default portal language is other than English, it can be configured for the filter by using PortalLocale init param: 

 <filter>
   <filter-name>LocalizationFilter</filter-name>
   <filter-class>org.exoplatform.portal.application.localization.LocalizationFilter</filter-class>
   <init-param>
     <param-name>PortalLocale</param-name>
     <param-value>fr_FR</param-value>
   </init-param>
 </filter>
