I'm discover an issue when parameter is not changing with testNG when trying to run 1 suite with different parameters through testng.xml

I have base.xml with tests

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">

<suite name="BASE XML">

    <test name="base test">

        <classes>

            <class name="testPackageL.TestClazz"/>

        </classes>

    </test>

</suite>

I need to pass parameters to this suite, I have created multi_suite.xml and passing parameters to base.xml through suite-files tag

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd">

<suite name="Suite runner">

    <suite-files>

        <suite-file path="base.xml">

            <parameter name="locale" value="se"/>

        </suite-file>

        <suite-file path="base.xml">

            <parameter name="locale" value="dk"/>

        </suite-file>

    </suite-files>

</suite>

The example of test class

package testPackageL;



import org.testng.annotations.*;



public class TestClazz {



    private String locale;



    @BeforeSuite

    @Parameters({"locale"})

    public void setUpSuite(String locale) {

        this.locale = locale;

    }



    @Test

    public void testPARAMZ() {

        System.out.println("Start test with " + locale);



    }

}

the output of run multi_suite.xml :

Start test with dk
