About JSP Page Encoding

[samuel . tsang]

Hi All Developer

I would like to ask a question about Tomcat's JSP page development problems

The problems is related to the following set of properties files and
contentType

I have set the page contentType as "TEXT/HTML;charset=UTF-8"

and read a properties files which is written by Microsoft Word using "Save
as" encoding text "utf-8"

the coding that I use to read the resource bundle is as normal.
        rb = ResourceBundle.getBundle("test");

        str_text = rb.getString("username_b5");

        out.print(str_text + "<BR>");

But the output is found to be unreadable result.

after that my friend tell me to use
     out.println(new String(rb.getString("test").getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),
"UTF-8"));
the result is readable.
I would like to ask can I change some JVM default encoding such that I can
use the default method to read the properties files.
