[opencms-dev] programatically determine which locale is currently being edited

[a.westermann at alkacon.com]

Hi Marc,

I think it is this dirty and hidden (the cast!) trick:

     protected List parseSelectOptions(CmsObject cms, I_CmsWidgetDialog 
widgetDialog, I_CmsWidgetParameter param)
     throws CmsIllegalArgumentException {

         Locale dialogContentLocale = 
((I_CmsXmlContentValue)param).getLocale();
...
}


Use it wherever you need it and have an I_CmsWidgetParameter argument.


Kind Regards,
Achim.
