Well I have all in utf8.
But by default Java property files are encoded in iso-8859-1
however this spec does not support special local characters,
the "&" char is part of it anyway so it shouldn't cause those
troubles. See [1] whether it would help you.
I'm also not familiarized with your application server but
f.e. Tomcat also tend to encode/decode everything in iso-8859-1
by default or with Weblogic you have to enforce proper encoding
by your own. In general to resolve some encoding issues, it might
be useful to add the following snippet to your web.xml file.
If you haven't customized yours, you can simply copy this one:
<jsp-config>
<jsp-property-group>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
<page-encoding>UTF-8</page-encoding>
</jsp-property-group>
</jsp-config>
or variations of it like Dweblogic.wtc.encoding=utf8 or per file.
btw we are in the process of i18n translator so probably Federico
would help you more since he's more familiarized with, in case
this is the encoding issue.
