Malin, It has nothing to do with Tomcat. It's a Java thing, really. Properties files are not unicode, wich means that non-ASCII characters need to be encoded. Usually your IDE should take care of this for you (in Netbeans this support is built-in).
In Eclipse I'd recommend Eclipse ResourceBundle Editor: http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipse-rbe/ A stand-alone app with similar features Zaval: http://www.zaval.org/products/jrc-editor/ Regards, </Firas> -----Original Message----- From: Malin Ljungh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 27, 2006 9:50 PM To: Tapestry users Subject: Re: Encoding of properties files I had it working earlier on another server (which I don't have access to anymore) so I shouldn't need to manipulate the files. I thought it would be something with the Tomcat config maybe? I use Tapestry 4.
