When running the compat Component Showcase, the pull down menu for choosing a language does not work when running on MyFaces 2. The problem is related to the issue reported in ICE-7236 found during regression testing. Basically the f:loadBundle tag was not designed to work with Ajax requests and MyFaces appears to be more strict about this than Mojarra. The solution is to apply the application-level changes outlined in the other case:

- remove the f:loadBundle tag
- wrap the markup in <f:view locale="#{testBean.locale}"> so that the locale is set right at the view level
- set the locale in the appropriate place via

    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().setLocale(new Locale(locale));

- add something similar to the following to the faces-config.xml file:

        <resource-bundle>
            <base-name>org.icefaces.application.showcase.view.resources.messages</base-name>
            <var>msgs</var>
        </resource-bundle>
