Question

I configured a default locale, and set up a text.properties + text_de.properties.

<application>
    <locale-config>
        <default-locale>en</default-locale>
    </locale-config>
    <resource-bundle>
        <base-name>text</base-name>
        <var>text</var>
    </resource-bundle>
</application>

Now, if I go to the website with german locale settings, the text is taken from text_de! Even though it is not configured as supported language!?

It that intended by jsf?

Here is the precedence list of JSF local sources:

• Search for a match between request locales (Header Accept-Language) and supported locales
• Application default locale of the faces config file
• JVM default locale

(From here: http://www.i-coding.de/www/en/jsf/application/locale.html)

Note that request local has a highere precedence than default locale, and – as it seems – there is no need to put it into the support locales node.
