Hi,

we have a case where a user would like to write a signature like this:

someMethod(@PathParam("locale") Locale locale) {}

The specification mandates that factory methods (constructor, valueOf,
etc) are checked for the types which are not 'officially' supported by
the spec. java.util.Locale constructor accepting a single String ignores
the qualifiers such as "us" in "en_us".

While this issue can be handled by the implementation, I propose to get
the spec mandating the support for java.util.Locale
Comments ?
Sergey
