I¹m having trouble displaying Danish text in my forms using the struts tags and I think it related to an error with how freemarker gets the locale. I¹m getting a lot of question marks in the text, but if I set the server local to Danish, all works as expected. Obviously that¹s not a solution as the other languages also have problems.
For example the s:select tag is incorrectly displaying some Danish text. But if I go in and edit the freemarker template file and change the label display from ${} notation to one using <@s.property /> tag it works as expected. Here¹s the details <@s.property value="%{parameters.label}"/> prints the correct text: Hvornår (ca.) begyndte de nuværende rygsmerter eller bensmerter (iskias)? But ${parameters.label?html} prints texts with ?¹ substituted for unsupported characters : Hvorn?r (ca.) begyndte de nuv?rende rygsmerter eller bensmerter (iskias)? I can see one solution is to change all the freemarker template files and replace ${} with <@s.property/>. But I¹m sure there has to be a simpler solution. Please, please help. As at the rate I¹m going I won¹t be needing a haircut for a while. Z.
