Thanks to Hugo and Jim for their answers.
Sorry to come back on this after so much time.
I was aware of the encoding of files that Java uses for properties files
and so my editor (actually the Eclipse default properties file editor)
is set properly to ISO-8859-1 .
However my deve environment is on a Windows machine and when I test my
web site running
System.out.println( Default Charset=" + Charset.defaultCharset()+";"+
"file.encoding=" +
System.getProperty("file.encoding")+";"+
"Default Charset=" + Charset.defaultCharset()+";"+
"Default Charset in Use=" + getDefaultCharSet()));
I get
Default Charset=windows-1252;file.encoding=Cp1252;Default
Charset=windows-1252;Default Charset in Use=Cp1252
and still properties files content is dipslayed correctly
While on the server (an Ubuntu box) where pages are displayed
incorrectly the same check shows:
Default Charset=US-ASCII;file.encoding=ANSI_X3.4-1968;Default
Charset=US-ASCII;Default Charset in Use=ASCII
I asked my sys admin to work on this
