Thanks Fulvio
Looks like the JDK's native2ascii is what I want, only i'd need to
make my own Generator out of it or something in order to perform the
translation live, yeah?
And that scares me!
Do you think a Generator is the right way to go here? (That basically
does the same as the xml file generator, or the serverpages
generator, but performs the translation to utf-8 beforehand)
Cheers
Jesse
