Servlet :: Change the Operating System Locale ?

Hi,

I am familiar with Servlets & now, I am involved in a challenging J2EE Project - the problem that I have described is one of the challenges that I am facing now.

I am developing a J2EE Solution that will be ultimately deployed into a Portal. A business requirement in my Project is that I need to change the Client's Operating System Locale from my Servlet ! ( The Server is Oracle's OC4J running on Windows 2000 ).

I understand that the Servlet runs in the Server & trying to change the OS Locale from a Servlet may not be possible. However, I am trying to see if there are any interesting alternatives to this problem.

Can you please tell me if there are any Documents / WhitePapers / Examples that discuss a similar functionality ?

This is the first time I am using Java Forums & I am not sure what other information I need to include - the code I am trying to use in my Servlet is a simple ResourceBundle example.

Please do let me know if I need to include anything else.

Regards,

Balaji

Do you want to change the Locale at runtime? i.e. On any servlet request?

Servlets run in the server not in the client so it cant do anything to the client environment. You need to do some kind of a client side scrypting.

I dont think that java scripts can do this. But probably a vb script,an activex or a signed applet .
