Yes, for some reason the Properties class assumes your
files are ISO 8859-1 encoded and struts uses the
Properties class to read your property files. I think
you have a couple of choices.
Either use the native2ascii which as somebody else
pointed out can be part of the build script. We use
something like this in ant:
<target name="convertPropertyFiles">
<native2ascii encoding="UTF-8"
src="${web.web.dir}/resourceBundles"
dest="${web.build.dir}"
includes="*.properties"
excludes="*.class" >
</native2ascii>
</target>
If you still do not want anything to do with
native2ascii then you could implement your own
MessageResources class that loads your UTF-8
properties files. See
"org.apache.struts.util.MessageResources" and
"org.apache.struts.util.MessageResourcesFactory".
Maybe somebody has already done this?
Hope this is of help.
