Problems with charset iso8859_1 and encoding
Hi *,
I am desperately looking for a solution on this. Sorry for my poor knowledge on Unicode standards.
Problem:
In my application users are allowed to type data in different languages, for example 'Greek'.
A Greek alphabet ' Ã ' is represented in ISO8859_1 as Γ but when I use any of the tags in struts, it converts this to &#915.
I assume struts treats '&' as HTML sensitive comp.. but it isn't here. When i use <%=myBean.getProperty() %> it prints ' Ã ' that is correct.
I write two lines in my jsp's to convert to ISO8859_1.
1. <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso8859_1" />
2. <%@page contentType="text/html; charset=iso8859_1" %>
any help is highly appreciated
Thanks in advance

Hello guys,
I didn't found any from Struts solution for the my last mail (find below), but I managed to correct it by adding a line in my Tiles layout file
Now I run into new problem that, the not understands this charset or interprets differently :-/ . I have to set 'filter' to false, in order to work.
If any anybody know where I have to set that DEFAULT value for 'filter' in is FALSE instead of TRUE?
I tried set in the struts-bean.tld's found in /WEB-INF folder and in the Struts.jar. doesn't help:-/ .Any help?
Thanks a lot

Hello Friends,
I am coming back to the Struts mailing list after a long period.
I have a problem with my Struts Application , that allows the users to fill in a form. When a user type in Greek letter's into the application and later reads backs to the browser from the application it shown as another letter, but when I change the coding on the browsing to Greek(Windows), it shows the correct letter. Is it possible encode characters automatically from Struts Framework.
I tried already to define Controller in the Struts Config as given below
.
but with out success.
If any body can help us on this, would be great.
Thanks
Alvin

Re: Problems with charset iso8859_1 and encoding

Consider posting in TagLibs list.
This is covered very nicely in JSTL (aka Standard Tags), read up on set
encoding in
http://java.sun.com/webapps/download/Display?BundleId=8776
and let me know if you then have a question. They even have examples.
(or start here
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/standard-doc/standard/index.html)
Also both JSTL books cover encoding.
