This code properly reads the unicode files in jsp and set in session
Properties prop = null; if (session.getAttribute("Properties") == null) { URL myURL = null; myURL = application.getResource("/common/language/japanese_lang.properties"); String fnsKey; String fnsVal; InputStream is = myURL.openStream(); BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8")); prop = new Properties(); String fnsData; fnsData = in.readLine(); while (fnsData != null) { String fnsRetVal = ""; StringTokenizer stParse = new StringTokenizer(fnsData, "="); //breaking the string while (stParse.hasMoreTokens()) { fnsKey = stParse.nextToken().trim(); if (stParse.hasMoreTokens()) { fnsVal = stParse.nextToken().trim(); prop.setProperty(fnsKey, fnsVal); } } fnsData = in.readLine(); } session.setAttribute("Properties", prop); } else { prop = (Properties) session.getAttribute("Properties"); } Thanks and Regards, Kapil Sharma IAP Company Ltd. -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Schultz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 7:18 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [OT] Reading Unicode Files -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Scott Mulligan, Scott H wrote: > In my Struts application, when I load a Resource Bundle (Property file) > that has Unicode characters (\u1234) they get interpreted as single > characters.

It's not a character encoding issue or anything like that... it's just parsing and converting. You'll have to do it yourself. Don't forget that if you have the JDK installed you can look at the Java sources for just about any class. Try looking for JAVA_HOME/src.zip or JAVA_HOME/share/src.zip and looking at the java.util.Properties source code yourself. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGQPcZ9CaO5/Lv0PARAsZPAKCGHvlQS0kVFTIJeuEexHQbIZ+iyACeKohv W0kv/TF72AucxxIwNNQlt4s= =LCf9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
