Try searching the bug tracker... I found http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-607 'Output encoding problem with some versions of Tomcat 5' (btw, what's your servlet container?) and some others that may help...
For the record, tapestry 3-4 used a custom resourcebundle loader that didn't require you to pass the properties through native2ascii... I think it used the ending of the file name of the property to determine the indended encoding allowing you to use UTF-8 and be done with it... That's also the reason why GWT gives credit to Tapestry in Help->About (they've reused the code) On 7/9/08, Sebastian Altmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ok seems like this won't get me anywhre. > > I just can repeat: > All my properties filese are 100% encoded in UTF-8 (checked this in eclipse > and in an external editor) and all umlauts are displayed properly (except in > the special case described above). > > To this problem you mentioned concerning Java Properties Files and UTF-8 > encoding i just can guess, that it seems that this problem doesn't inflict > the usage of properties inside tapestry. > After i did a lot of testing concerning encoding both on UNIX and Windows > machines, > i just can say that special characters in UTF-8 are display properly (except > in the special case described above) as long you set the concerning meta > information in .application or rather in .library properly. > > > > > > Maximilian Weißböck wrote: > > > > I'm very sure the property files that work are not utf-8 encoded > > but iso-8895-1 encoded. > > > > You can use ÄÖÜß and so on with no problem in property files > > (we do it), just be very sure they are iso-8895-1 encoded. > > > > If you use Eclipse, right click on the file, open Properties > > and look at the Text file Encoding. > > > > Max > > > > > > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > > Von: Sebastian Altmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Gesendet: Dienstag, 8.
