utf-8 from resource bundle?

Hi,

All my pages start with <%@page pageEncoding="utf-8" contentType="text/html;
charset=utf-8" %>
and have <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
in the html head tag.

Output from all database derived unicode characters look fine.  However,
output from resource bundle is garbled.  i.e. "Español" comes back as "Espa&
#195;&#177;ol".  File check on resource properties file comes back returns
UTF-8 Unicode English text, with very long lines.  Any ideas what I'm doing
wrong or what more I need to add?

Thanks,
Ken

This is how I solve the problem:
into resource files I write the Unicode of special charcters.
So, for your Español I write in msg_es.properties something like this Espa\uUnicode_Code_for_ñol.
You can use native2ascii tool to convert a properties file from Español to Espa\uUnicode_Code_for_ñol.

Hope this helps,
Alin.

  By the way, I'm using Tomcat 5 where I set URIEncoding="UTF-8" in the Connector tag.
  Also have a catch all filter setting.
        request.setCharacterEncoding("utf-8");
        response.setCharacterEncoding("utf-8");

  All is good except for display of content from my ResourceBundle.

  I'd really appreciate any ideas any one may have.

  Thanks,
  Ken

ResourceBundles need to be converted by native2ascii before use. The
ResourceBundle Editor plugin for Eclipse does this conversion automatically.
