Attachments:	Patch to make Locale tag return a Locale

Description Janet Geddes 2002-09-09 12:40:56 UTC

The locale tag doc indicates that it returns a Locale object 
(java.util.Locale, i presumed), but the LocaleEI class actually specifies 
java.lang.String as the return type for the id.  I am using the localeRef 
attribute to pull the java.util.Locale object from the session, and need for the 
tag to return the object, not the string...

I have attached a patch above which fixes this bug.

The patch previously attached still applies cleanly to the current CVS, IMHO it
should be applied, it is clearly the correct fix.

Makes sense. Patch applied.  Thanks.
