Problem
If you reside in a locale other than the default en_US, you have to change the locale with every request that is made.
Solution
Teach the JVM to use your locale as default.
Detailed explanation
Being a german CF User, it's not always easy for me to work
with localized functions.
Everytime I use functions that rely on the locale, I have to
use setlocale("German (Standard)") on every request that is
made.
To get rid of that, you can tell ColdFusion (or to be specific, the JVM underneath) to use a different locale.
That can be done in two ways:
- Via the CF-Administrator under Settings -> Java and JVM
-> JVM args
- In the File %CFROOT%\runtime\bin\jvm.config under
java.args=
Two arguments have to be entered. The language and region based on the ISO codes for those.
For me, the required args look like this:
-Duser.language=de -Duser.region=DE
Once saved, just restart the ColdFusion Application Server and you are done.
