How did you create your war file then? Through an IDE? I looked up the man page for 'jar' command. It's pretty straight-forward. Are you compressing your class files? That may modify the content of the files.

Thanks, but I believe the problem is in the WAR packaging, somehow ... because I develop locally, deploy w/o packaging and it works fine - if I package it up again and re-deploy LOCALLY, then I get garbage ... native2ascii only works for properties files, as far as I've been able to determine. UTF-8 encoded JSPs have to have UTF-8 encoded characters, not the \u escaped characters that native2ascii creates. We only use native2ascii for our properties files Yansheng Lin wrote: >"developed locally, and then deployed remotely" > >Make sure on the remote system, the Java Runtime Environment supports UTF-8 >and is using it as the default encoding(export >JAVA_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding="utf8"). > >native2ascii UTF-8 encoded characters may help too. > >Yan > >-----Original Message----- >From: Ruth, Brice [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: June 10, 2004 14:00 >To: Tomcat Users List >Subject: Corrupted UTF-8 JSPs?! > > >I'm running into a strange issue. > >I have certain JSPs with UTF-8 encoded characters in them (polish >characters, to be exact).
