I went though this pain a few months ago too. Here are all the places I had to hit:
1. In your HTML files: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> And also in your <head>: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> 2. For property files, if you use i18n you will need to use the foo.xml format rather than foo.properties, and also include the above <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> in each of them. 3. In your WicketApplication.java: // wicket 1.4; perhaps different in 1.5 getRequestCycleSettings().setResponseRequestEncoding("UTF-8"); getMarkupSettings().setDefaultMarkupEncoding("UTF-8"); 4. In your pom.xml (to cover any copied resources): <properties> <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> </properties> 5. Finally, in Intellij: File -> Preferences -> File Encodings -> IDE Encoding: UTF-8. What made this frustrating is that it always seemed to render fine with the embedded Jetty, but not with Tomcat (so things would always look great locally, but fall apart in production). -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/hebrew-text-looks-like-tp4260875p4271694.html Sent from the Users forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
