             Summary: Support Locale.forLanguageTag() 
                 Key: WFLY-4239
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-4239
             Project: WildFly
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Localization
    Affects Versions: 9.0.0.Alpha1
         Environment: JDK 7
            Reporter: Romain Pelisse
            Assignee: Romain Pelisse
            Priority: Minor


The rules for Locale are different in JDK 6 vs 7, and this getLocale() method was written to conform to the JDK 6 rules. Hence it assumes 2 chars for language, 2 chars for country. Beginning with JDK 7 things are much more complex, and we don't support that. The language can be up to 8 chars, country can be [a-zA-Z]{2} | [0-9]{3}, there's the "script" element, and most importantly, Locale.forLanguageTag().

It would be nice to at least support Locale.forLanguageTag().
