This is what I encountered and had a minor problem in Win2k environment (if template is ever saved with Notepad UTF8 format). Win-notepad will add UTF8 bom marker (3 bytes) at the start...which is a very good as programs can transparently handle several encodings without an user interaction. If velocity is used to generate html files (text/html), then extra ? character is not displayed at the webbrowser. Maybe browsers recognise the bom and will skip it. But generating "text/plain" from Notepad-UTF8 saved velocity template will output ? character as first character. My unicoderesourceloader has a standalone testprogram to see it happen. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
