I have one question regarding to struts validation for French input characters.

I have some input fields in the form to accept the French character input, such 
as Street name,
person's name, 

In struts's validation.xml file, I have defined the following rule:


<global>
<constant>
<constant-name>streetName</constant-name>
<!-- French version --> 
|<constant-value>^\w+$</constant-value> 
</constant>
</global>

<global>
<constant>
<constant-name>personName</constant-name>
<!-- French version --> 
<constant-value>^\w+$</constant-value>
</constant>
</global>



<field property="streetName" depends="requiredif,mask">
<msg name="mask" key="form.addSite.caption.streetName.maskmsg" />
<arg0 key="form.addSite.caption.streetName" />
<var-name>mask</var-name>
<var-value>${streetName}</var-value>
</var>
</field>

.......
When I do the testing and enter the French characters for the streetName which 
contain French characters, such as, D�SAUTELS, the struts complain about the 
invalid street name because of special French charactor �,
in fact the street name: D�SAUTELS is a real street name, 

My question is how to define the validation rule to include that French 
character into the <constantvalue>^\w+$</constant-value>, according to regular 
expression, \w+ should include the French charactor, but it is not?

Do I miss something? How to tell struts validator to include the French locale 
for input validation purpose? Do I need to set locale for the formset tag 
inside the validation.xml file

Thanks.....
