Hi,
We had the same problem but we are using weblogic. May this will give you a
clue on what needs to be changed in Tomcat.
We did the following to solve the problem :
In weblogic's web.xml we have following snippet
<context-param>
<param-name>weblogic.jsp.encoding</param-name>
<param-value>iso-8859-1</param-value>
</context-param>
In all the jsps we dish out we have following :
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
This was for display, which you said you have already achieved.
And finally to accept the characters in the same encoding format we added
following line in weblogic.properties .
weblogic.httpd.inputCharset./*=iso-8859-1.
I think you will have to something similar in tomcat's properrties file

Still shouldn't be necessary.

Open up struts.jar in winzip or something and view META-INF/MANIFEST.mf
- check implementation-version.
So what does the debugging say at the end of your JSPs? Is your response
UTF-8 or iso-xxxx encoded? I bet it says the page content-type is still
iso-8859.
How are you setting your struts controller parameter (in struts-config.xml):
<set-property property="contentType"
value="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
Do you have any locale-encoding-mapping-list in your web.xml? You don't
need it with UTF-8. You also don't need to specify it in any
jsp-property-group since the struts controller will handle it.

I wish! If you get this solved, we can condense this thread and post it
in the struts wikki.
