He was saying it 'can' display Japanese characters. The example doesn't have any Japanese characters in in (if i remember correctly), but if they are put into the properties files for the locale they will be displayed.
You should look into that http://www.anassina.com/struts/i18n/i18n.html page as it explains a lot. I think the main problem is you have the Japanese characters already converted into HTML in your application as yuo have them in the format ハ. When you use a bean to write it out, the bean tried to escape any characters that are significant to HTML, and the '&' character is one of them. That is why it replaces your '&' with '&'. The bean is trying to help by displaying the text you provided in HTML so that it will appear as ハ on the page. The 'filter=false' stops it doing this, but also means if you have some other characters like '<' in your text then they won't be escaped and could cause the page to be rendered incorrectly. When I display Japanese characters on my pages I store them in Japanese in a .properties file, then use native2ascii to convert those japanese characters into the Java Unicode properties file format of \u####. When java reads them in, the actual unicode character is passed around in java and output directly into the html page. The page encoding is set to UTF-8, and the browser can display it correctly. The bean:write will also still escape the characters that need it such as '&' and '<'. This also means I am not dealing with HTML formatting inside my Java code, and can happily store the same characters in files, databases etc or output to another device instead of HTML. -- Jason Lea carlo latasa wrote: >I just checked the example application and did not see anything on Japanese >characters.
