Request Encoding

[Ulf Liedén]

Hi all,

when my struts application receives form entries containing french character
(i.e. é è) they are converted to something else, like é è.

This has probably something to do with how the request is encoded. I've
tried to add

ServletActionContext.getRequest().setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");

to the action class validate() method, and

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>

to the JSP, but this doesn't help. Any suggestions?

Best regards,
Ulf
