Description

I am using the VelocityViewServlet to display some templates and JAXB stuff. As far as I understand, all tools which extend LocaleConfig will have the locale set by request.getLocale().
Well, this does seem to be the case for the for set and not subsequent ones.

I have the following tools.xml

<tools>
	<toolbox scope="application">
		
	</toolbox>
	<toolbox scope="request">
		<tool class="org.apache.velocity.tools.view.ViewContextTool" />
		<tool class="org.apache.velocity.tools.generic.DisplayTool" />
	</toolbox>
</tools>

And this in my template:
$display.locale
$request.locale

While tampering my locale with Quick Locale Switcher in Firefox. Request locale is correct but display locale remains the same.
This is really weird since the tool is recreated and every request otherwise the localeconfig is useless.
