How can I change Spring locale cookie name?

The cookie for spring MVC locale is named by default as org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.CookieLocaleResolver.LOCALE.

How can I set this name to another one?

The Java config way:

@Bean public LocaleResolver localeResolver() { final CookieLocaleResolver cookieLocaleResolver = new CookieLocaleResolver(); cookieLocaleResolver.setDefaultLocale(Locale.ENGLISH); cookieLocaleResolver.setCookieName("YOUR_LOCALE_COOKIE_NAME"); return cookieLocaleResolver; } 

The cookie name can be set in the configuration of the localeResolver, used to store locale changes in session cookies:

<bean> <property name="defaultLocale" value="en"></property> <property name="cookieName" value="YOUR_LOCALE_COOKIE_NAME"/> </bean> 

Thanks to dimitrisli for the link to documentation.

Using Java config:

@Bean public HandlerInterceptor localChangeInterceptor(){ LocaleChangeInterceptor localeInterceptor = new LocaleChangeInterceptor(); localeInterceptor.setParamName("lang"); return localeInterceptor; } 

Using XML config:

 <mvc:interceptors> <bean> <property name="paramName" value="lang" /> </bean> </mvc:interceptors>
