Resource-, JSP- and Java-files are now 8859_1 encoded.
Characters inside resource files are converted to UTF-8 characters with the
native2ascii tool (files still encoded in 8859_1)
Swedish characters (even uppercase) works great!
Success so far!

a session bean.
public ActionForward execute( ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response )
throws Exception
{
MyFormBean formBean = (MyFormBean) form;
CustomBean bean = new CustomBean();
bean.setValue( formBean.getValue() );
request.getSession().setAttribute("mybean", bean);
}
Then when I print the value in the JSP-page I get distorted characters.
<bean:write name="mybean" property="value" scope="session"/>
BUT if I rewrite my custombean's getValue method it all works fine (except
for swedish uppercase letters):
public String getValue()
{
return new String( value.getBytes(), "UTF-8");
}

So the problem still remains. This should be easy right?
