Question

i am using htmlpanelgrid with to build my dynamic navigation.
The Page contains 3 commandlinks for changing the language (with an image).
If i hit the image (commandlink) to change the language, the navigation is always 1 step behind with the new language.

The navigation become build on Phase 1 (restore view) and the new language is set on Phase 5.
Means, if i change the language the htmlpanelgrid is build with the old language before the new value is set.
how to get rid of that ?
thanks!

You need to set the locale explicitly on the UIViewRoot during the action method.

public void changeLocaleAction() {
    locale = new Locale(language);
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().setLocale(locale);
}

Otherwise you need to send a redirect back to the same view.

public String changeLocaleAction() {
    locale = new Locale(language);
    return FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getViewId() + "?faces-redirect=true";
}
