applicationresources.properties with utf-8 characters

[deligeli]

Hi!

I would like to have in my applicationresources.properties utf-8 charcters.
When I write:
login.notRecognized = "נא לנסות שנית"

and try to save, I get the message
Some characters cannot be mapped using ISO-8859-1

What tag can I add to it?

It's a properties file..

Thanks!

What do you use to edit that file? Eclipse? There is plugin which will
convert in fly characters to UTF-8 entities, Resource Bundle Editor or
something. IntelliJ IDEA has built-in such option, just select it in
Settings.

hi,

use native2ascii to convert the foreign characters into \uNNNN escape
sequence.

I am pretty sure that properties files can't be utf-8. I think you are stuck
with iso-8859-1. I've run into this before and the proper solution is what was
suggested earlier, using the native2ascii tool.

I am pretty sure that you can only use ISO-8859-1 for properties files. I ran
into this once before and the accepted solution is to use the native2ascii
tool as was previously suggested.

We change applicationresources_zh.properties to utf 8 in our application,
and the application can show the chinese character properly in the
application.
However we are not changing applicationresources.properties to utf8

I'm not going to argue about whether or not it will work, but if you
look at the Javadocs for java.util.Properties ->

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html

It does specifically state the the input (and output) streams are
iso-8859-1 and that unicode chars should use the \u0000 generated by
the native2ascii tool. If another method works for you, that's good,
but I would proceed with caution because you might just be lucky right
now and screwed the next time you upgrade your jre/jdk.

This question comes up often so here are some references:

Take a look at the JavaDoc for Properties [1] and PropertyResourceBundle
[2].  They both state that the properties file must be encoded in ISO 8859-1
with Unicode escapes when the file is loaded from an input stream.

Internally Struts calls ResourceBundle.getBundle() [3] to load the bundle
(properties files) which loads them from an input stream.  So if you use
standard Struts facilities to manage your properties bundles then you must
encode them in ISO 8859-1.

we haven't go to very detail...just test in some label..and we did encounter
in some others pages it come with weird character...after read your link, I
would rather follow the standard, rather than have issue in the future :)
