2nd try to get through spam filter...
Perhaps the text editor you are using for editing your property files and
templates is not character code aware, for instance old versions of Notepad.
If you are using Eclipse for editing these files it may be set to auto-detect
the character encoding, and if one of the previous developers is using a
clashing editor / character encoding, the meta tag in your property files and
templates will be directing the browser to decode the characters using a
character set that is different to the one actually used to save the content.
You can check if the browser rendered content is actually ISO-8859-1 by
changing the Firefox setting to the required encoding (View → Character
Encoding → Western (ISO-8859-1)) instead of Auto-detect, to see if the relevant
characters come out ok, if not, then I would check the editor you are using to
edit the files (including history of check-ins by other developers) and make
sure it is setting the encoding correctly. Another area that may be relevant
is if you have contributed a Servlet Filter, and in its service method you have
used setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") or some other invalid encoding. I use UTF-8
project-wide, ensure my editors are character code aware, and have no problem
with special characters. I have previously encountered similar errors where
non-developers were given access to files to maintain error messages /
properties using older versions of Notepad.
Regards,
Jim.

Subject: [OT] encoding of properties files
Hello I have a question I believe is not strictly Tapestry related.
I'm developing a web site using T 4.1.6
My dev environment is Eclipse 3.5 + Tomcat 5.5 on Windows Vista where
everything works fine (I know I know...).
Instead when I deploy the website on another machine, characters loaded
from properties files that have accents are not showed correctly.
I see question marks in place of the characters when I use Firefox and
squares in IE 8.
I have used ISO-8859-1 for properties files and for html templates:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
Can someone point me in the correct direction to solve this problem?
