Bravo Antonio... yes I forgot to say I'm using propterties file backed resourcebundles. A little earlier I found out that they can only use Latin1 encoding, and I had to use the native2ascii tool to convert non-ascii characters to their \uxxxx code. It's a little laborious but at least it's working now. many thanks /j-p. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
