[displaytag-user] displaytag.properties and character encoding

[Georgovassilis George]

Dear All   I’ve run into trouble with displaytag 1.0 and character encoding for the displaytag.properties. When displaytag is to read the localised basic.msg.empty_list property from displaytag_el.properties it is reproduced with a wrong encoding. From the output result I guess it expects the file encoding to be ISO-8859-1, while in fact it is UTF-8 since every foreign character in the file is represented with two characters in the output. In contrast, resources from the spring message bundles (i.e. in the <displaytag:column titleKey=”…”/> are displayed correctly but I understand that currently it is not possible to populate the basic.msg.empty_list property from the spring resource bundles.   Thanks George   My setup: Tomcat 5.5 Java 1.5 Spring 1.2.6
