Georg thanks for your concern. The options are not from the resources file. They are read from mySQL. I use the html:select and the html:options tag to display the records. I debugged the Options Taga from the struts source and it calls ResponseUtils.write(pageContext, sb.toString());
which is this public static void write(PageContext pageContext, String text) throws JspException { JspWriter writer = pageContext.getOut(); try { writer.print(text); } catch (IOException e) { RequestUtils.saveException(pageContext, e); throw new JspException (messages.getMessage("write.io", e.toString())); } } the text in "writer.print(text);" looks fine before print is called but in the html I get ???? instead for the records Thanks (Geia sou kai esena) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mouratidis, Georg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 2:38 PM Subject: RE: JSPWriter prints ??? I guess that you use ApplicationResources.properties to display your options-values. If so, there is in struts-config.xml an attribute in the <message-resources>-tag. With this attribute ( sorry, i dont know the name ) you can tell struts what to do if it can nout find the appropriate resource key. If you get ??? this means that this attribute is set to true otherwise you would receive an error message that the resource key couldn' be found. hope this is your solution Georg (Jasou file) -----Original Message----- From: Sakis Chatzinikolaou [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Mittwoch, 8. Januar 2003 12:41 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: JSPWriter prints ??? Hi all, I am using Struts 1.0.2 with mySQL 3.23. I have some records in the DB which are in greek charset. The recorset form mySQL comes OK in Greek from the Action bean. I verify this in the debugger because the html select is well defined. I get <select ..... > with the greek characters in the options. Wher the String text reaches the JSpWriter.print(text) then I get ???? in the html page in the select box(drop down box). I use Charset=Iso 8859-7 Is there a problem with JSPWriter ? I downloaded the International JDK 1.4.1_01 but nothing seems to change from the US English only. Any ideas ?
