Perhaps some more comments to our application:
We created a small Address search in one JSP
1. HTML Form (including field 'City')
2. JSTL SQL Query
(select ... from address a where ...
and a.City like '%<c:out value="${param.City}"/>%')
3. Diplay Tag which displays the resultSubmitting the HTML Form works perfectly with UTF-8 encoding. As the result searching for a address with city = 'M�nchen' (german Umlaut!) is possible.
Whereas using the Display Tag generated links doesn't work due to the not UTF-8 encoded 'M�nchen' String. The result is a city String which is not correct anymore. So the HTML Form displays rubbish and the ResultSet of the query is empty.
How to solve?
Thank you, Norbert

i believe a similar question was just asked on the Struts-User mailing list. here was the answer given:
<snip> You need to use native2ascii (program comes with java sdk and is also an ant method) to convert the UTF-8 (or other formats) into the java property file format which use \uXXXX
Main point is you need to request.setEncoding("UTF-8") on every request (well, ones that have form values being submitted). Otherwise they will be treated as normal ascii and be corrupted. Also pages need the response encoding or page encoding set to UTF-8 too.
