How to get selected locale in JasperReports Server?

Posted on December 3, 2012 at 3:40am

Hi 

I am using JasperReports Server 5, and I am new to it. My requirement is to customize UI based on selected locale for e.g. if user wants to show/hide some of the links(in jasperserver) only for french locale not for english locale.

If anybody knows how to get selected locale inside jasperserver then share details with me. I am also simultaneously going through documentation and web help to acheive the same.

In general, locales are not used like that. You set the locale, then the UI and the reports etc. are rendered using that locale. But I suppose you could achieve it with a little bit of JavaScript. You should update your question with a more precise example of a link you want to conditionally hide.

thanks for quick response , i wanted to know whether jasperserver is keeping any variable in session or context for selected locale so that i can use to conditionally hide/show not only links other UI stuffs also , i am just thinking in one direction to address this problem , there may be easy ways to achieve this.

I found a way to get the locale in a JSP page

You need to import a class first: 

<%@ page import="com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.war.common.JasperServerConstImpl" %>

Then you have access to the Locale:

 <%=session.getAttribute(JasperServerConstImpl.getUserLocaleSessionAttr())%>

I tried this in the "about" box and once logged in was able to see en_US

Sounds like something along the lines of  creating variable with:

(LocaleEnglish != english) ? LocaleFrenche : LocaleEnglish

But that limits it to EN and FR
