I remembered reading an article you wrote Paul, which said rather specifically to use UTF-8 instead of ASCII files with ColdFusion, citing performance as the reason (and didn't mention any of the above). This was the reason I implemented them in the framework that way, although I can't find the article now, which makes me look stupid. Personally I fail to understand why resource bundles can't be managed in UTF-8 ... Other than perhaps that nobody's designed a tool to do so, which, I fail to understand why nobody would. I know you're going to say because ASCII is standard with Java, but quite frankly that's a stupid reason. Java isn't the only language or the only standard in the world, and there's not even anything _preventing_ the implementation of resource bundles in UTF-8 with java, they just made an arbitrary decision which ultimately causes more overhead both for the machine and for the development team. s. isaac dealey 434.293.6201 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:236762 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
