I am also having difficulty with using Struts2 and Freemarker.
I am setting default_encoding=UTF-8 in freemarker.properties, and leaving
the struts encoding in default.properties untouched (i.e.
struts.i18n.encoding=UTF-8). When I use a struts action to forward to a test
page with Spanish text, without specifying the type (thus defaulting to
jsp), it outputs fine. However, if the action forwards to the same page, but
specifying the type as freemarker, the output is garbled.
Even if I subclass FreemarkerManager, override the createConfiguration
method and explicitly call config.setDefaultEncoding("utf-8") here, and
specify this as the struts.freemarker.manager.classname in
struts.properties, it makes no difference - the output is garbled.
Does anybody know why this might be the case?
Thanks
Jonny
