Cannot Set Up Globalization in the Extension Application (Neo Environment)

Cannot set up globalization in the extension application

Issue/Symptom

You want to implement globalization (internationalization/localization) in your extension application and you are using the SAP SuccessFactors identity provider.

Solution

You can switch the application language depending on the SAML locale attribute which is propagated to your Java application during login.

See:

• Supported SAP SuccessFactors SAML attributes: SuccessFactors SAML 2.0 Technical Details
• Configure Trust to the SAML Identity Provider, step 5., Assertion-based attributes section.
• Consume user attributes in a Java application: User Attributes

Option 2

You can use the SAP SuccessFactors OData API.

If you get the current user profile ({odata_api_host}/odata/v2/User('<user_id>')), there is a property called defaultLocale that you can use.

• User entity documentation
