Hi,

   It really sucks that you have to send your .properties-files through the 
native2ascii converter and get some unreadable gibberish with \uXXXX. I 
realize that even Java doesn't support UTF-8 .properties-files, but writing a 
loader is simple:

    public static Properties loadProperties( String filename) throws Throwable 
{
        Properties result = new Properties();
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( new 
FileInputStream( filename), "UTF-8"));
        String read = reader.readLine();
        while( read != null) {
            if( !read.startsWith( "#") && !read.startsWith( ";") && 
read.indexOf( '=') != -1)
                result.setProperty( read.substring( 0, read.indexOf( '=')), 
read.substring( read.indexOf( '=')+1, read.length()));
            read = reader.readLine();
        }
        return result;
    }

   Maybe an encoding-attribute could be thrown into the <message-resources>-
tag in struts-config.xml?

Torben Vesterager
