The problem is that IE doesn't display the text properly.
When we don't set the content-type to UTF-8, the text from the database shows up properly but all of the text from the message tags shows up garbled. Also, if we put japanese characters directly in the JSP outside of scriplet tags, it is displayed as garbled in both the browser and view source.
When we do set the content-type to UTF-8, all of the text from the message tags shows up properly but all of the text from the database shows us garbled (html tags are also screwed up because the browser thinks part of the Japanese is a "<" so instead of "</a>" view source only shows "/a>").
We tried running the properties files through the native2ascii utility from the jdk to convert all the japanese characters to \uxxxx but IE treats that as the literal text and tries to display "\uxxxx".
We need to get both the message tag text and other text to show up properly as japanese.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so how did you solve it?
Thanks, BAL
