textfield escapes name attribute

[Björn Raupach <ra...@me.com>]

Hi group,

I am having some trouble with the textfield tag. We have java beans that use german umlauts as well as the letter 'ß' in some property names. To set the property in a from we use the textfield tag. Below is a snippet:

<tr>
  <td>Straße</td>
  <td><s:textfield name="location.straße" label="Straße"/></td>
</tr>

Problem is the rendered html page escapes the name attribute, which result in a null value for the property straße. Same goes for all properties that use umlauts. ö becomes &ouml; and so on...

<tr>
	<td>Straße</td>
	<td><input type="text" name="location.stra&szlig;e" id="LocationAction_save_location_stra&szlig;e"></input></td>
</tr>

However we can enter umlauts in a input field and have the value properly encoded in the property of the bean.

<tr>
  <td>Ort</td>
  <td><s:textfield name="location.ort" label="Ort"/></td>
</tr>

If we enter 'München' in this input field, we actually recieve 'München' on the server.

We use struts2 2.1.8.1 and the javatemplates-plugin. Tomcat  URIEncoding is set to UTF-8. Every jsp is encoded with UTF-8 and the headers are properly set.

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
    pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>


Any ideas?

Björn
