SAP Hybris: How to load app context in custom error page controller?

Question

I'm using SAP Hybris 1811 on my local machine. I've got custom error page handler in web.xml

<error-page>
        <exception-type>java.lang.NullPointerException</exception-type>
        <location>/errors</location>
</error-page>

And a controller for handling this error (note it's not extending AbstractPageController, for reason read further)

@Controller
public class ErrorController {
    @RequestMapping(value = "/errors", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView handleErrors(Model model, HttpServletRequest httpRequest) {
        httpRequest.getLocale();
        .... some code here
    }
}

I need to get correct current locale of the app for displaying correct language in error page, but it's still getting only English, although it should be other language.

I tried to load i18nService and it's locale for example like this, but it's still "en":

SpringHelper.getSpringBean(httpRequest, "i18nService", DefaultI18NService.class, true).getCurrentLocale()

I thought the problem was because of the ErrorController doesn't extend AbstractPageController, but when I tried that, none of the error methods could be reached.

Answer 1

In the end I was able to get the correct locale like this:

Locale loc = ((Locale)((CommerceJaloSession)this.pageContext.getSession().getAttribute("jalosession")).getAttribute("locale"));
