Configuring a CookieLocaleResolver

We use a CookieLocaleResolver in the following example:

    <bean id="localeResolver" 
     class="org.springframework.web.servlet.
     i18n.CookieLocaleResolver"> 
       <property name="defaultLocale" value="en" /> 
       <property name="cookieName" value="userLocaleCookie"/> 
       <property name="cookieMaxAge" value="7200"/> 
    </bean>

Important things to note are as follows:

• <property name="cookieName" value="userLocaleCookie"/>: The name of the cookie stored in the browser will be userLocaleCookie.
• <property name="cookieMaxAge" value="7200"/>: The lifetime of the cookie is 2 hours (7200 seconds).
• Since we are using LocaleChangeInterceptor from the previous example, if you append language=en to any URL, you would be using en locale for a duration of 2 hours (or until the locale is changed). If you append language=fr to any URL, then you would be using a French locale for 2 hours (or until locale is changed).
