Hi, Try saving your resource file with Chinese text as GB2312 encoded text. There is a tool in the $JAVA_HOME/bin dir called 'native2ascii'. Run this against your file and you will have a pure ascii file with \uXXXX (X = hex number) to represent the double byte chinese chars. in the javadoc it specifies that java.util.Properties should be able to decode a stream of this data and convert it into 16bit unicode. If struts uses this, then your java strings should be OK.
To verify that you have read in the resource correctly, I suggest writing a small java app that can write the data to screen because the character encoded will be preserved in Java. Your next problem is going to be writing data using the jspWriter. I would expect the jsp writer to also use ISO-8859-1 encoding when converting unicode java strings to a byte stream, this would completely mess up your chinese chars. You would need to change the encoding in the jspWriter to be GB2312 if this is to work correctly. What Jeff says is also correct, you would need to specify the encoding used in the http headers. If neither of the two suggestions above work, then your other option is to sub-class the relevant code and override the methods that do the encoding with your own. But then you are probably entering a whole world of pain :) Sorry, I cant be of more help, I have only ever done double byte i18n work on normal apps and not web apps.

I did, also put double quotes around the Chinese character but it gave me the following jsp exception for some reason weblogic.utils.ParsingException: nested TokenStreamException: antlr.TokenStreamI OException at weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspLexer.parse(JspLexer.java:900) at weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspParser.doit(JspParser.java:71) at weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspParser.parse(JspParser.java:175) at weblogic.servlet.jsp.Jsp2Java.outputs(Jsp2Java.java:113) at weblogic.utils.compiler.CodeGenerator.generate(CodeGenerator.java:253 ) at weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspStub.compilePage(JspStub.java:313) at weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspStub.prepareServlet(JspStub.java:180) at weblogic.servlet.jsp.JspStub.prepareServlet(JspStub.java:148) at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletStubImpl.getServlet(ServletStubImpl. java:306) at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletStubImpl.invokeServlet(ServletStubIm pl.java:208) at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletStubImpl.invokeServlet(ServletStubIm pl.java:246) at weblogic.servlet.internal.WebAppServletContext.invokeServlet(WebAppSe rvletContext.java:1265) at weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletRequestImpl.execute(ServletRequestIm pl.java:1631) at weblogic.kernel.ExecuteThread.execute(ExecuteThread.java:137) at weblogic.kernel.ExecuteThread.run(ExecuteThread.java:120) > -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 12:22 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Help, How to display Chinese in jsp by using message tag ? Have you tried putting the contentType in the JSP page directive like I had previously suggested? The html spec at http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/ section 5.2.2 says: To sum up, conforming user agents must observe the following priorities when determining a document's character encoding (from highest priority to lowest): 1. An HTTP "charset" parameter in a "Content-Type" field. 2. A META declaration with "http-equiv" set to "Content-Type" and a value set for "charset". 3. The charset attribute set on an element that designates an external resource. Therefore, if your web server is sending the content type as part of the HTTP header, your meta tag will be ignored.

Thanks for you reply. You gave a good point. But I still don't know how to make it work. Can you or any body tell me how to fix it if you happened to know. What I did was: edit the application_zh.properties in note pad and save in UTF-8 encoding. In my jsp I tried each of the following <head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></head> <head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312"></head> same problem: nothing shows if I put English text instead of Chinese character in the property file, it works fine. Does it explain some thing ?

Hi, My guess is that the code being used to load the file off disk is decoding the text using the wrong charset to decode. In the UK, the JVM's default charset is normally iso-8859-1 and this is used when loading any text files from disk and converting them into double byte unicode (Java Strings). In the javadoc for java.util.Properties, the following is found: "When saving properties to a stream or loading them from a stream, the ISO 8859-1 character encoding is used. For characters that cannot be directly represented in this encoding, Unicode escapes are used;" I assume this applies applies to the struts resource implementation, it will certainly apply to java.util.PropertyResourceBundle. According to the docs, after running the jsdk tool 'native2ascii' to convert your GB2312 text into unicode escaped ascii, things may work. The docs seem to indicate that property loading streams will convert the unicode escapes. Hope this helps, regards, Chris. -----Original Message----- From: Julia Yang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 12 December 2001 01:11 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Help, How to display chinese in jsp by using message tag ? Hi, all Can any one tell me how to use message tag to display Chinese in jsp I have a property file called application_zh.properties which has English at left and Chinese at right for each entry. Example: expression_input.ok= ¹«Ê½ In my jsp I use message tag to find the matched Chinese through English text and try display the it . Example: <bean:message key="expression_input.ok"/> In my jsp, I set up the <head><META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312"></head> My problem is the application found the file but display nothing.
