Finding Locale from Controller in Spring MVC

Question

I'm using Sprinng 3.0.

How do I find the current locale set by a LocaleResolver within an annotation-based controller?

Thanks.

Answer 1

LocaleContextHolder can be used, especially to obtain the Locale outside of a controller method.

Locale locale = LocaleContextHolder.getLocale();

Answer 2

You can declare an argument of type Locale in your controller method:

@RequestMapping
public ModelAndView foo(..., Locale locale) { ... }
