This is not just a problem with JSTL, it's a "problem" with JSPs in general. A JSP page will default to the system encoding, and not what you may specify on the response somewhere up the chain.
I'm aware of 3 options. 1) Use a Servlet filter as suggested. This only works on Servlet 2.3 and higher containers. 2) add this to the top of your JSPs maybe in an include: <%@ page contentType = "text/html; charset=UTF-8" %> 3) Use another view technology like Velocity And that's half the battle. The other half is making sure that you can accept input as UTF-8. But that's a story for another day. john > -----Original Message----- > From: Ronald van den Heuvel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: May 17, 2004 7:50 AM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: Problem with utf-8 encoding with struts > > Hm ok I will try the filter but this is not the real solution because I > am not using any other taglibs.
