Actually it's the jsf view handler that also has the same method (seam calls it and it comes back to the LocaleSelector method with same name)...kind of confusing.

It doesn't look like our D2DViewHandler supports dynamic loading of messages bundles. I could only get the window title to change languages dynamically (after a refresh, of course).

Try this again after ICE-2485 is resolved.

Hello, we worked around this issue by extending the D2DSeamFaceletViewHandler class from IceFaces and overriding the calculateLocale method to call the LocaleSelector.calculateLocale method from Seam. We retrieve the LocaleSelector from the JSF SessionContext using the name "org.jboss.seam.international.localeSelector". We then configured our new class as the view handler in faces-config.xml and now the LocaleSelector works properly for us.

Hi Frank,
can you attach the workaround for version 1.7?
thanks

Mircea,

Please take a look at this and see if the suggested workaround makes sense.

Based on Frank Worsley's instruction, thats how I changed the calculateLocale() method.
Any feedback to this hack is highly appreciated.

public class D2DSeamFaceletViewHandlerLocaleFix extends
com.icesoft.faces.facelets.D2DSeamFaceletViewHandler {

public D2DSeamFaceletViewHandlerLocaleFix(ViewHandler delegate)

@Override
public Locale calculateLocale(FacesContext context) {
SeamApplication application = (SeamApplication)context.getApplication();
ELContext elContext = context.getELContext();
ValueExpression valueExpression = application.getExpressionFactory().createValueExpression(elContext, "#

", Object.class);
Object obj = valueExpression.getValue(elContext);

return ((LocaleSelector)obj).calculateLocale(context.getExternalContext().getRequestLocale());
}

}

Delegate calculateLocale() call to SeamViewHandler. LocaleSelector assumes that SeamViewHandler is the configured ViewHandler (see LocaleSelector.java:155).
