Hi, I used a while ago the same technique and it seems to be working fine.

From: Julien Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2008 8:32 AM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: PhaseListener: before or after which phase should I set the locale? Hello, I use restfaces an I have UrLs such as mydomain.com/fr/book/etc where /fr/ is the desired locale. I have tried retrieving the locale string from the URL and setting the locale from a PhaseListener before the renderResponse phase but it does not work i.e. when I change the locale in the address bar to /en/book/etc it will not change the locale. Any clue? Thanks in advance, JUlien. Here is the phase listener: code: _____ public class DebugPhaseListener implements PhaseListener { private static transient Logger log = Logger.getLogger("com.jeanbaptistemartin.util"); public DebugPhaseListener() { log.debug("DebugPhaseListener constructor"); } public void afterPhase(PhaseEvent phaseEvent) { log.debug("after---> " + phaseEvent.getPhaseId()); } public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent phaseEvent) { Locale locale = extractLocale(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequ estServletPath()); FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().setLocale(locale); } public PhaseId getPhaseId() { return PhaseId.RENDER_RESPONSE; } private Locale extractLocale(String servletPath) { String[] array = servletPath.split("/"); return new Locale(array[0]); } } _____ Here is the managed bean (I actually use spring): code: _____ @Component("sculptureView") @Scope("request") public class SculptureView { private Logger log = Logger.getLogger("com.jeanbaptistemartin.view"); private JbmService service; private Sculpture sculpture; public SculptureView() { log.info("Sculpture()"); } @Autowired public SculptureView(JbmService service) { log.info("Sculpture(JbmService service)"); this.service = service; } @Instance("#{sculptureView}") @HttpAction(value = "sculptureAction", pattern = "{locale}/sculpture/{id}") public String getBookById(@Param("id") int id, @Param("locale")String locale) { this.sculpture = service.findByID(id); log.debug("Locale: "+ locale); return "/sculpture.jsp"; } public Sculpture getSculpture() { return sculpture; } public void setSculpture(Sculpture sculpture) { this.sculpture = sculpture; } } _____ The problem I get is that the jsp page still display today's date in french...
