LocaleResolver (Spring Framework 4.3.30.RELEASE API)

All Known Subinterfaces:
LocaleContextResolver
All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractLocaleContextResolver, AbstractLocaleResolver, AcceptHeaderLocaleResolver, CookieLocaleResolver, FixedLocaleResolver, SessionLocaleResolver
```
public interface LocaleResolver
```
Interface for web-based locale resolution strategies that allows for both locale resolution via the request and locale modification via request and response.
This interface allows for implementations based on request, session, cookies, etc. The default implementation is AcceptHeaderLocaleResolver, simply using the request's locale provided by the respective HTTP header.
Use RequestContext.getLocale() to retrieve the current locale in controllers or views, independent of the actual resolution strategy.
Note: As of Spring 4.0, there is an extended strategy interface called LocaleContextResolver, allowing for resolution of a LocaleContext object, potentially including associated time zone information. Spring's provided resolver implementations implement the extended LocaleContextResolver interface wherever appropriate.
