Now there is something mystical about how the J2EE system got the locale into the method. The Java proprietary Locale object was set in the Request object by processing the user's HTTP Accept-Language header and doing some (proprietary) mapping to Java's representation (the Locale object). The locale can then be accessed by a Java program.

Both of the examples above produce localized behavior using information maintained by the application's environment. The developer may need to do something in the body of the code to access this capability (as in the second example), but the method signature remains the same.
