How do I get Chinese & Arabic to/from struts

[David Thielen]

Hi;

 

I have spent several hours googling on this and all the articles point to
http://www.anassina.com/struts/i18n/i18n.html which apparently no longer
exists.

 

All of my jsp pages are set to be utf-8 using "<meta
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">". All of my
input and text I do using html-el.

 

When I get the text from an input box, it as a&#1234:b so it is not
converting it to unicode. And it ends the char with a : instead of a ;

 

When I pass unicode to a <c:out ./> it doesn't display correctly.

 

What do I need to do differently?

 

Thanks - dave
