The quick answer is, "because that's how it's implemented". > Also, while searching for a solution I came across the load(InputStream) > method of java.util.Properties which has the value of charset hardcoded to > "8859_1" which made me wonder... But I guess you already know that... So you see, although Java internally uses unicode, Properties only accepts ascii files for external storage. Of course, you always have the choice to hack Struts. ;) Best regards, -- Shinobu -- Shinobu Kawai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
