Thanks much! The following article was very informative:
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-04-2004/jw-0419-multibytes_p.html
adding 'encoding="UTF-8"' to my JAVAC tasks in my Ant's build.xml seemed to have taken care of the problem I was seeing. The article was informative in many other ways, too. Great article, thanks!

---------------------------------------------------------------------I'm running into a strange issue.
I have certain JSPs with UTF-8 encoded characters in
them (polish characters, to be exact). My Ant build.xml
precompiles the JSPs using Jasper and then packages the application into a WAR
for deployment.
When I develop locally with Tomcat 5.0.18, I deploy
without packaging into a WAR first. However, to deploy remotely, I
create a WAR, then deploy from that.
Locally, the JSPs appear just as they should. After
being packaged into a WAR (even if I deploy it locally to the exact same
instance of Tomcat 5.0.18), the UTF-8 characters are garbaged up. The
garbaging appears the same as it does when I override the page-provided
UTF-8 encoding (in the browser) and manually set the encoding to
ISO-8859-1.
What's going on here?! By the time that the JSPs are
added to the WAR, they're binary .class files, since they are
precompiled! Text encodings shouldn't make a bit of difference at that point,
should they?!?
The JSPs loaded still tell the browser that the
encoding is UTF-8 ... and UTF-8 characters in the .properties files
(passed through native2ascii) are properly displayed.
It seems to me that something very strange is going
on ... moreover, this is going to really throw a wrench in our
project if we can't get to the bottom of it!
