This isn't a Struts prolem, and it's not a MySQL problem either. As usual, it's "user error" :-) These are two things to do:
[1] If you're importing through Java, you need to make sure your file reader is properly decoding UTF-8 stings: http://javaalmanac.com/egs/java.io/ReadFromUTF8.html [2] An optional step is to make your MySQL tables have their encoding set to UTF-8. Your destination columns need this, at least. [3] A very required step is to have UTF-8 be the default encoding for Strings to and from the database driver. Alter the URL of your database to contain these 2 paramters: jdbc:mysql://localhost/databaseName?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=utf-8 -- Paul __________________________________ Yahoo!
