Martin and Luke, are you using different databases on the two
environments? You might want to be sure you have MySQL configured to
use unicode, and add the "useUnicode" and "characterEncoding" options to
your database connect URL.
You may also find that you need to set the character encoding property
in the ContentType header in your Actions with
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8"). I found on some
browsers that the meta tag in the HTML won't override the value in the
HTTP header.
Just suggestions. I haven't actually dealt with this problem for quite
a while.

David,
could you please be a bit more specific?
Just now I have a very similar problem as LuKe.
I am using MySQl 4.1.10 and all tables are UTF-8.
Struts is configured to use UTF 8 (i. e. the controller element in
struts-config.xml says
contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8").
This seems to work. My browsers (Firefox and IE6) decode the pages as UTF-8.
BUT: when I enter text using a form (this is configured using the
charSet-attribute to html:form to accept
ISO-8859-1) IE6 garbles it while Firefox seems to work OK.
Any hints?
Martin

Change you encoding to UTF-8.

Subject: Problem with characters
Hi,
I have a problem with some characters.
My application reads some forms and writes them in a db.
On my test and developing environment everything works well.
The problem comes out when I deploy the application on the production
server.
When I fill in the form non English characters (for example
the typical
characters of the Italian language) they are read as "?".
The strange thing is that in the same tomcat context there is an old
no-struts application that works well.
On this server Apache and Tomcat work together and this is the only
difference from my test server.
In both struts-config.xml and web.xml I put this encoding
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
Furthermore I use a tiles layout and in it I put:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
What could be the problem?
LuKe
