What browser are you using? I had the same problem, and I more or less
solved it by outputting only UTF-8 pages, with the proper header set.
This causes most browsers to respond in UTF-8. The default encoding
that the servlet classes use is ISO-8859-1, however, so I also use a
filter to force the servlet to treat the incoming request as UTF-8. So
far this has worked nicely. With Struts 1.2 you can now also use the
acceptCharset attribute of the <html:form> tag. I don't know how well
this is supported by the current crop of browsers, but it should give
them another hint what you want them to do.
