I18N problems

[Brian Lee <br...@hotmail.com>]

I've got a site that we're trying to deploy in Japanese. We're using struts 
message tags everywhere with property resource bundles for all the labels 
and text. The only text that doesn't come from the resource bundles comes 
from the database.

The problem is that IE doesn't display the text properly.

When we don't set the content-type to UTF-8, the text from the database 
shows up properly but all of the text from the message tags shows up 
garbled. Also, if we put japanese characters directly in the JSP outside of 
scriplet tags, it is displayed as garbled in both the browser and view 
source.

When we do set the content-type to UTF-8, all of the text from the message 
tags shows up properly but all of the text from the database shows us 
garbled (html tags are also screwed up because the browser thinks part of 
the Japanese is a "<" so instead of "</a>" view source only shows "/a>").

We tried running the properties files through the native2ascii utility from 
the jdk to convert all the japanese characters to \uxxxx but IE treats that 
as the literal text and tries to display "\uxxxx".

We need to get both the message tag text and other text to show up properly 
as japanese.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so how did you solve it?

Thanks,
BAL
