title: Struts 1.3: How to set a default Locale in a web app?
body: <p>I have two or three i18n files in my struts application. I am able to switch between these by setting the <code>Global.LOCALE_KEY</code> variable in the session.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to set a default locale for the application (probably in the struts-config.xml file, I guess) ? Is the session the only place to set the locale ?</p>
  
  <p>Sure, I could intercept the call to the first page and set the variable in the session, but that's more cumbersome.</p>
