locale-context

Locale context module

This module allows an application to maintain a custom Locale in a context that is bound to the current thread, allowing a configured Locale to be propagated.

How to use this module

1. Add it to your classpath.

<dependency>
    <groupId>nl.talsmasoftware.context</groupId>
    <artifactId>locale-context</artifactId>
    <version>[see Maven badge above]</version>
</dependency>

2. Make sure to use the ContextAwareExecutorService as your threadpool.
3. Set the current Locale for some block of code:

   private static LocaleContextManager localeContextManager = new LocaleContextManager();
   
   private void runWithLocale(Locale locale, Runnable someCode) {
       try (Context<Locale> ctx = localeContextManager.initializeNewContext(locale)) {
           someCode.run();
       }
   } 

4. Use the LocaleContext anywhere in your application:

private void someMethod() {
    Locale locale = LocaleContextManager.getCurrentLocaleOrDefault();
}
