I'm trying to add localization support in my jsf app. But when I change locale, in goes wrong page address. If current page address is http://localhost:8092/ (first default page), after locate change the redirected page address is http://web-inf/views/authors.xhtml. Of course this page is not available. This is my web.xml:
<web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd"
version="3.1">

This is my JSF page authors.xhtml:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<h:head>
<title>JSF 2.0 Hello World</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h1>JSF 2 internationalization example</h1>
<h:form>
<h2>
<h:outputText value="#{msg['welcome.jsf']}" />
</h2>
<h:panelGrid columns="2">
Language :
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{language.localeCode}" onchange="submit()"
valueChangeListener="#{language.countryLocaleCodeChanged}">
<f:selectItems value="#{language.countriesInMap}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
And my managed bean:
@ManagedBean(name="language")
@SessionScoped
public class LanguageBean implements Serializable{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private String localeCode;
private static Map<String,Object> countries;
static{
countries = new LinkedHashMap<String,Object>();
countries.put("English", Locale.ENGLISH); //label, value
countries.put("Chinese", Locale.SIMPLIFIED_CHINESE);
}
public Map<String, Object> getCountriesInMap() {
return countries;
}
public String getLocaleCode() {
return localeCode;
}
public void setLocaleCode(String localeCode) {
this.localeCode = localeCode;
}
//value change event listener
public void countryLocaleCodeChanged(ValueChangeEvent e){
String newLocaleValue = e.getNewValue().toString();
//loop country map to compare the locale code
for (Map.Entry<String, Object> entry : countries.entrySet()) {
if(entry.getValue().toString().equals(newLocaleValue)){
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
.getViewRoot().setLocale((Locale)entry.getValue());
}
}
}
}
