Hello, I already spent several hours on this problem. And I have done some search on the mailing lists as well.
I am using the latest Struts 2 (2.2.1) along with struts-tiles JSP plugin (2.2.2), and I running into a problem with rendering garbled foreign characters from s:text. If I remove the pageEncoding tag from the top of the JSP page, the <s:text...> works okay. This line when added to the top of the JSP causes <s:text ...> to render incorrect garbled Portuguese characters. <%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" language="java" %> All my resource files are saved in UTF-8. And so is my JSPs. And I also have the following on all pages. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xhtml+xml; charset=UTF-8" /> And I have following settings too: struts.xml: ... <constant name="struts.i18n.encoding" value="UTF-8"/> ... freemaker.properties: default_encoding=UTF-8 -- Rubens
