Using a Separate Page per Locale

The JSTL I18N actions make it easy to use the same page for all locales. But as described earlier, sometimes it’s better to use a separate page per locale. The poll example uses this approach for the detailed description of the question.

As shown in Example 14-1, the poll.jsp page uses a resource bundle with the base name pages to hold the name of the details page for each locale. Here’s how the pages_sv.properties looks:

details_page=details_sv.jsp

This makes it possible to use the <fmt:message> action to dynamically generate a link to a separate page for each locale:

<a href="<fmt:message key="details_page" bundle="${pagesBundle}" />">
  <fmt:message key="question" />
</a>

Here, I specify the bundle for the <fmt:message> action explicitly since the pages bundle is not the default bundle.

All that remains is to create a page per supported locale. Example 14-4 shows the Swedish page.

Example 14-4. Swedish details page (details_sv.jsp)
<%@ page contentType="text/html" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>
  
<html>
  <head>
    <title>
      <fmt:message key="title" />
    </title>
  </head>
