You can use filter from Spring

    <filter>
        <filter-name>encodingFilter</filter-name>

<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>encoding</param-name>
            <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>forceEncoding</param-name>
            <param-value>true</param-value>
        </init-param>
    </filter>


    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>encodingFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>

It is possible to save the notepad file in UTF8 instead of ANSII.


If such notepad support UTF-8, you can use Notepad++ or JDK tool
native2ascii which will convert ANSII file to UTF-8, there is also ant task
available or many IDEs support such convertion in fly

The native2ascii tool should run the same anywhere. Make sure you 
specify both the input and the output encoding, and that the input 
encoding you specify really matches the encoding you've saved the 
properties file in.

Hi,
Native2ascii has generated Unicode characters on polish windows system.
But could not generate Unicode characters on Windows English Operating
System.

Thanks a lot to Lukasz and Laurie

That wouldn't help, since it has nothing to do with resource file loading.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to *read* a resource file saved in 
this way. Application resource files are implemented under the covers 
using Java's PropertyResourceBundle which specifies [2] the file format 
as Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) encoding with Unicode escapes.

What you *can* do, however, is author the files in UTF-8 and then 
post-process them into the correct encoding during the build process, 
using any of the tools/techniques Lukasz suggests.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to *read* a resource file saved in 
this way. Application resource files are implemented under the covers 
using Java's PropertyResourceBundle which specifies [2] the file format 
as Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) encoding with Unicode escapes.

What you *can* do, however, is author the files in UTF-8 and then 
post-process them into the correct encoding during the build process,
