[opencms-dev] getting the locale of a page within <% %>

[Panos Kavalagios]

Hi Christoph,

    Here are some ways of accessing the locale property:

*<cms:property name="locale" default="en" />*

to read the locale property or set it in a JSTL variable:

*<c:set var="PageISOLang" scope="page"><cms:property name="locale" 
default="en" /></c:set>*

and either access it using:

*<c:out value="${PageISOLang}" />*
or
*<%= cmsae.getJspContext().getAttribute("PageISOLang") %>*

where cmsae is your CmsJspActionElement created like:

<% CmsJspActionElement cmsae=new CmsJspActionElement(pageContext, 
request, response); %>

It is also assumed that you have already included in your JSP the 
following declarations:

<%@ page import="java.util.*,org.opencms.jsp.*" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="cms" uri="http://www.opencms.org/taglib/cms" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>

Regards,
Panos
