The View tag is the container for all JavaServer Faces component tags used
on a page. You can wrap the root element of the structured markup language used
in your document with this tag to ensure that all child tags are part of the
same view. This tag is useful for internationalization (I18N)
purposes.
It provides you with several options for presenting your user
with localized views of your application. By default the JSF framework will
attempt to select the best view for your user based on the Accept-Language
header sent to the server from the user's browser as part of the HTTP request
for your page. If the locale requested by the user is not supported by your
application, the JSF framework will use the default locale specified in your
Faces configuration file. If you have not specified a default locale, JSF will
use the default locale for the Java Virtual Machine serving your
application.
If your application supports the locale requested by the
user, JSF will set that locale for the view and will display the messages for
that locale defined in the locale's message bundle. You can also specify the
locale for which the view is to be rendered by explicitly setting the locale
attribute of the view tag. This allows you to design localized versions of each
page, including images and styles, for each locale you wish to support. Another
option is to obtain the locale dynamically through user interaction. This
information could later be stored in a cookie and/or a database to identify
which locale is preferred by your user. The locale attribute accepts a
value-binding expression that could resolve to the desired locale.
